As to how she figures into the storyline, viewers will see Jake and Rosa competing against each other for an open spot on her task force, according to the site.
Gershon's recent TV credits include "Empire," "Red Oaks," "Elementary," "Rescue Me," "How to Make It in America," and "Z Nation." She's set to make her "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" debut when the show returns after hiatus on April 11.
In addition to Gershon, producers of "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" has also tapped "Castle" vet Nathan Fillion to make a guest starring appearance in season 4. Entertainment Weekly reported that Fillion will play the character of Mark Devereaux, a star of a Law & Order-esque TV series titled "Serve & Protect."
The episode, slated to air this spring, will find Jake and Rosa investigating a crime that occurred on the Serve & Protect set. Fillion's character, Mark will show his interest to assist the detectives by drawing on his decade of experience playing a detective.
