If your quarantine isn’t going great, here’s some good news to cheer you up.

The creators of comedy cop series Brooklyn Nine-Nine have revealed that the team is working remotely to write the next season.

The show, currently in its seventh season, is being aired on E4 in the UK.

“I’m happy to announce that the #Brooklyn99 season 8 writers room started (remotely) today,” the show’s co-creator Dan Goor wrote on his Twitter account.

“The fact that the show has endured for this long is a testament to our amazing actors, crew, and writers, and to our fans, who are the best in the world. Thank you! Stay safe! Nine-Nine!”

It’s probably the right time for those fans of the series who also like ‘Die Hard’ – just like the show’s lead character Jake Peralta – to put up their demand for a cameo appearance by Bruce Willis.

Andy Samberg, who plays Jake in the series, has also pleaded for Bruce aka John McClane a number of times to appear on the show.

Back in February, when Andy was asked on The Tonight Show about which dream celebrity would he want on the show, he told Jimmy Fallon: “For us, there’s one.

“My character is obsessed with Die Hard, so we’ve long said that getting Bruce Willy would be like a huge thing.

“I mean, I’ve appealed many times for this, I think maybe he’s like waiting for the end to surprise us and shock the world, or, he hates me.”

Andy, 41, previously begged Bruce to appear on the show at San Diego Comic-Con while looking straight down Entertainment Tonight’s camera.

“I know we’ve asked him like 10 times already, but I personally haven’t,” he said.

“Hey Bruce – look, my character Jake Peralta on the show Brooklyn Nine-Nine, which is moderately successful, is obsessed with Die Hard and thinks that your character John McClane is the coolest character in the history of cinema.

“I, Andy Samberg, I’m a comedian, also feel that way.

“If you’d come be on the show, even if it’s for one sentence, like a cool cameo, like we bump on each other on the street and you go, ‘Excuse me,’ and then walk away.

“If you had it in your schedule to breeze by just for one shot, I think it would mean a lot to the show, to the fan base.”

Well, let’s pray for that to happen in the eighth iteration of the show.
