Recent in the news, Melissa Fumero calls out Canadian remake's whitewashed casting. After the first trailer for Escouade 99, a French-Canadian remake of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, dropped this week, original series star Melissa Fumero shared some thoughts on Twitter, critiquing the series for its predominantly white cast. The remake cast white, non-Latina actresses to play its versions of Fumero's character Amy Santiago and Stephanie Beatriz's Rosa Diaz, with Mylene Mackay as "Fanny" and Bianca Gervais as "Rosalie". "This is like peeking through another dimension," Fumero tweeted on Thursday (20th August 2020. On Friday, she added, "I've been thinking about this a lot, and it basically comes down to this... while I understand the Latina population is v small in Quebec (& how many of them are funny actors?) the Amy n Rosa roles could've gone to ANY BIPOC so it's disappointing to see that missed opportunity. Furthermore, I love actors so I do not mean to shame these actresses, it's not their fault... it’s up to the decision-makers." Brooklyn Nine-Nine has been renewed for an eighth season on NBC, but it's unclear when the show will resume production as the COVID-19 pandemic continues.
