Chelsea Peretti’s final episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine is apparently “epic.”
Peretti has played the kooky and wonderfully strange Gina since season one. Last month, however, she announced that she would be leaving the show. Although losing one of the best characters on the show will be gutting, we have her grande exit to look forward to.
“I can tease that Gina departs in a very Gina Linetti-esque way,” showrunner Dan Goor told TVLine. He added that her final episode will be “funny but also… emotional. [Chelsea] is really one of the funniest people in the world, and a great actress, and I think all of that comes out in her exit.”
Co-star Melissa Fumero, who plays Amy on the show, has also raved about Gina’s exit. “It’s f–king epic,” she promises.
“It’s such a great Gina episode.. Her grand finale is with Amy and Rosa (Stephanie Beatriz), as it should be. She has stuff with everybody, but they paired her with us [at the end], and we had so much fun shooting that last week. It was bittersweet and sad, and we definitely cried, [but they were] happy tears.”
