NBC has come to the rescue.
In case you hadn’t heard the devastating news, Fox decided to cancel Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
Five seasons which covered topics such as racial profiling, sexuality, gun violence in the US was not enough to save the series which was the victim of low ratings.
Even famous fans such as Hamilton star Lin-Manuel Miranda, late night show host Seth Meyers, Mark Hamill of Star Wars, Sean Astin from The Lord of the Rings, and Shape of Water director Guillermo del Toro expressed their anger at the show’s cancellation.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine has given us fully human characters, beautiful, powerful, flawed, vulnerable, majestic… In whichever form, B99 must return. It will. And I will be there to watch. And, it is my hope that I hope that, this time, a lot more people do too.

But Andy Samberg’s series has now been saved thanks to a massive fan campaign — and NBC!
Co-creator of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Dan Goor, revealed the good news via Twitter:
