Another Saturday Night Live alum is joining Brooklyn Nine-Nine, which already stars Andy Samberg. He will be joined by Bill Hader, who is replacing Andre Braugher as the new precinct captain.
The casting was announced today at the Television Critics Association Press Tour, but it’s not clear how long he will be around. According to Entertainment Weekly, Hader’s character was described as “efficient.”
Hader is set to star in IFC’s upcoming series Documentary Now! and can be seen on the big screen in Trainwreck with Amy Schumer. He recently worked with Steven Spielberg on The BFG and also starred in The Skeleton Twins.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine will also feature The Good Wife’s Archie Jenjab as a new love interest for Joe Lo Truglio’s Detective Boyle.
Capt. Holt, played by Braugher - who has been the only actor nominated for an Emmy for a performance on the show so far - was reassigned to a PR position after his nemesis (Kyra Sedgwick) promoted him during the season two finale. The season ended with the Nine-Nine meeting their new boss, but his face was not shown. Now we know he’ll look a lot like Stefon.
Nine-Nine starts its third season on Sunday, Sept. 27.
