As for Stephanie’s secretive character, there were hints about rekindling a romance from season one.
“Teddy, my love interest from season one, will be seen again,” she confirmed. “I can tell you that he and Amy are going strong.” Both ladies also gushed about the professional growth their characters are receiving. “We’re going to see Amy and Rosa progressing in their careers this year,” Melissa explained. “They’re both ambitious cops and it’s great to see them gain some new responsibilities. They’re rising up the ranks!” “There’s also some special task forces that have developed,” Beatriz added. “I don’t want to give too much away, but our characters will encounter some interesting busts. We’re increasing the level of ‘copdom’ on the show.”
The B99 girls weren’t just eager to talk about things to come. They also happily reflected on how their lives have changed since the show took flight. Last year’s Brooklyn premiere was seen by over six million people and it won the coveted Golden Globe for Best Comedy Television Series. “The press has been really generous with our show,” Fumero said. “They’ve praised the writing and the ensemble cast. It’s also amazing to see how many new fans we reached over the summer. A lot of people discovered the show in the last few months and we’ve gotten tons of encouraging tweets. Our female fans have really grown as well,” Stephanie added.
“They said they love the female relationships we have on the show. Overall, it’s created a lot less anxiety and nerves for season two. We’re now all really close and coming back together felt like a reunion. We’re now sophomores instead of freshman.”
Judging by the buzz that’s been building (and the addition of Eva), we’re sure B99 season two will soar to even greater heights. You can catch the big premiere, Sunday September 28th on FOX.
