Exclusive: Brooklyn Nine-Nine Books The Office's Ed Helms

Ed Helms goes postal this fall as a special guest star in Brooklyn Nine-Nine's second season. The Office vet will play an agent working for the United States Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) whom Det. Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg) struggles with in order to work a case.

As of now, Helms is only slated to appear in the Fox's comedy's seventh episode, airing on Nov. 16, "but anybody who enters this world can come back," says co-creator and executive producer Dan Goor. "[Co-creator and executive producer] Mike Schur and I know Ed from The Office and The Daily Show, so he'll be great and hopefully he'll have fun and be back."

Helms joins the growing list of Season 2 guest stars, including Kyra Sedgwick, Eva Longoria, Terrell Owens and Jenny Slate.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine returns on a new night, Sunday, Sept. 28 at 8:30/7:30c on Fox.
