Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Lin-Manuel Miranda to guest star as Amy Santiago's brother in NBC sitcom

Brooklyn Nine Nine is bringing Lin-Manuel Miranda as a guest star on an upcoming episode in  Season 6  of the popular sitcom. Miranda, who recently starred in  _Mary Poppins Returns_ , will play David Santiago, brother of Amy (Melissa Fumero) and her rival. The episode is titled as The Golden Child, which is set to air on 7 March, reports TVLine. Miranda was one of the celebrities who voiced their support for Brooklyn Nine-Nine following its cancellation by Fox  last year after five seasons. Fans of the show immediately took to social media and launched a campaign with the hashtag #RenewBrooklyn99. NBC swooped in quickly and picked up the show for sixth season.
