The longtime FOX and current NBC network staple that will premiere its 8th season sometime in 2021, has been remade as a French-Canadian show, "Escouade 99". It will air on the Club Illico streaming service, launching September 17th.
The show finished filming just ahead of the Covid-19 production shutdown in Canada: https://www.mtlblog.com/news/canada/qc/the-quebec-version-of-brooklyn-nine-nine-looks-a-lot-like-the-original-photos-and-video
Set in Quebec, it will feature a multi-racial cast. However, unlike the American version, it won't feature any Latinos, which Cuban-American actress Melissa Fumero, who plays Amy Santiago on "Brooklyn 99", calls "white washing", but notes that the Latino population in Quebec is quite small.
