E4 is to air new US cop comedy Brooklyn Nine-Nine in the UK.
The sitcom stars Andy Samberg as an immature New York detective and Andre Braugher as his no-nonsense captain.
The series premiered last night (September 17) on Fox in the US, attracting solid reviews and 6 million total viewers.
E4 has the rights to air the show's 22-episode first season from January 2014.
"I'm delighted to bring NBCUniversal's laugh-out-loud comedy about a motley crew of cops to the UK," said Channel 4's chief creative officer Jay Hunt.
"Brooklyn Nine-Nine will be a real treat for E4 audiences when it launches here in the new year."
Brooklyn Nine-Nine - which also stars Expendables actor Terry Crews - is from Parks and Recreation team Michael Schur and Dan Goor.
