“Brooklyn Nine Nine” Will Feature “Castle” Star Nathan Fillion Playing Detective In “Meta” Episode

A familiar TV face will soon grace your screens. Entertainment Weekly first reported that “Castle” star Nathan Fillion will join “Brooklyn Nine Nine” in a meta episode. According to the episode details, Fillion will play an actor who thinks he has the skills enough to be a detective simply because he has played one for TV.

“Fillion will pop up on the Fox cop comedy as Mark Devereaux, star of a “Law & Order” type of show titled “Serve & Protect.” When Jake (Andy Samberg) and Rosa (Stephanie Beatriz) investigate a crime that occurred on the “Serve & Protect” set, Mark wants to assist the detectives by drawing on his decade of experience playing a detective,” Dan Snierson wrote for EW.

Fillion will also be joined by former “Ally McBeal” star Greg Germann, who would be “Serve & Protect” executive producer Gary Lurmax in the episode, Den of Geek added.

Screencrush said the meta episode will probably not be shown in Season 4, which is scheduled to return on April 11. Filming of the particular episode, however, will happen sometime in the spring, the site said.

But if there’s something “Brooklyn Nine Nine” fans should definitely watch out for in Season 4 is the aftermath following Gina’s (Chelsea Peretti) death. It could be recalled that Season 3 ended when Gina got ran over a bus, to the shock of fans. It’s unclear if Gina is dead.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine executive producer Dan Goor has since said about the scene, “We wrote a joke for Gina, in which she tells Charles that she’d rather get hit by a bus than receive another text from him. After we wrote it, I thought, “She should get a text from Charles and then instantly get hit by a bus.””
