Brooklyn Nine Nine star Chelsea Peretti is dropping out of the series. She'll be in some episodes of the upcoming sixth season, but not all of them, it seems.

"I won't be doing a full season of Brooklyn Nine Nine in Season 6," she wrote on Twitter. "But that doesn't mean I won't ever be back..."

Co-creator Dan Goor also commented on Peretti's departure. He said in his own statement that he and Mike Schur eyed Peretti for her role as Gina from the very beginning. Regarding her final episode, the show is planning a storyline that explains her departure, and the unique challenge is writing it to reflect how Gina is "the human embodiment of the 100 emoji."

"While it's sad to see a member of the family leave, we are so proud of Chelsea and excited for what she does next," Goor added.

Fox canceled Brooklyn Nine Nine earlier this year, and just days later NBC stepped up and announced it would pick up the show for a sixth season. Netflix and Hulu reportedly passed.

Brooklyn Nine Nine, a police comedy/drama that stars SNL veteran Andy Samberg, premiered in 2013. According to Deadline, the show failed to find a substantial audience in part because it moved back and forth between Sunday and Tuesday. The show was created by Parks and Recreation creators Dan Goor and Michael Schur.
