Hollywood actor Terry Crews has revealed that newly filmed episodes of the comedy series Brooklyn Nine-Nine have been scrapped — and now the show has to start over amid the Black Lives Matter protests.
“We’ve had a lot of somber talks about it and deep conversations and we hope through this we’re going to make something that will be truly groundbreaking this year. We have an opportunity and we plan to use it in the best way possible,” Terry explained. “Our show-runner Dan Goor, they had four episodes all ready to go and they just threw them in the trash. We have to start over. Right now we don’t know which direction it’s going to go in.”
He also spoke about some of his own interactions in the past with the police.
“As a young Black man, you’re not going to be treated as a 14-year-old, especially by the police,” Terry shared. “He was scared, I’ll be honest, it’s one of those things where he gets heart palpitations when a police car goes by. It’s not the same. He does not feel safe, there’s a threat feeling.”
