'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' Cast Donate 100k To National Bail Fund; More Actors Who Play Cops Urge Donations

UPI reported on comments from Terry Crews today in which he said that current events will definitely have an effect on the next season of Brooklyn Nine-Nine. During his appearence on Late Night With Seth Meyers last night, the 51-year-old actor said he and the rest of the cast and crew had “somber talks” about what the future of Brooklyn Nine-Nine will look like in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death.

People, the actress reportedly donated $200,000 (about £160,000) to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund ahead of her birthday, which she spent celebrating at home with her six children, Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt. Jolie's donation is the latest in a slew of celebrity contributions to Black resistance causes and organisations following the May 25 murder of George Floyd and ongoing protests in support of the Black Lives Matter movement across the country.

Canceled does not necessarily mean goodbye. In recent years, TV shows have found new life after being canned by networks, with last-minute and hard-fought saves.For instance, Brooklyn Nine-Nine fans made their disappointment known in May 2018 when Fox canceled the sitcom — starring Andy Samberg (Jake Peralta), Melissa Fumero (Amy Santiago), Andre Braugher (Raymond Holt), Terry Crews (Terry Jeffords), Stephanie Beatriz (Rosa Diaz) and Joe Lo Truglio (Charles Boyle) — after five seasons.

George Floyd's tragic death may have been the catalyst for the protests currently happening around the world, but for many—including E! host Nina Parker—the fight for justice extends beyond his case. "This is not something that's gonna be over in two weeks," Parker told Ria Ciuffo and Fran Mariano on their Chicks in the Office podcast.

Kim Kardashian, Chrissy Teigen, and more stars spoke out about the U.S. protests that have been taking place in cities across the country to fight for social injustice and justice for George Floyd‘s tragic death, and generously offered to help with money for those who were arrested and hurt — including Kanye West who set up a college savings fund for George Floyd’s 6-year-old daughter Gianna.
