It is yet to be known which character/s from both sitcoms will get the central arc on the upcoming crossover.

"We're all huge fans of New Girl here at the Nine-Nine, and we're excited to see our characters interact and to work with their incredible writers and producers," Brooklyn Nine-Nine creator and executive producer Dan Goor said in a statement.
