Can we get a unironic "cool, cool, cool, cool, cool," over here? 'Cause "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" has been just one day after being canceled by Fox.
And you can aim your gleeful "NINE-NINE" shouts at NBC, for being the one to bring it back. The Peacock announced Friday night that it had picked up the Andy Samberg-led sitcom for 13 more episodes.
"Ever since we sold this show to Fox I've regretted letting it get away, and it's high time it came back to its rightful home," said Robert Greenblatt, Chairman, NBC Entertainment. "Mike Schur, Dan Goor, and Andy Samberg grew up on NBC and we're all thrilled that one of the smartest, funniest, and best cast comedies in a long time will take its place in our comedy line-up. I speak for everyone at NBC, here's to the Nine-Nine!"
The cast and creator Dan Goor also took to Twitter to express their joy over being renewed.
Talks that the sitcom was being eyed for a return elsewhere began just hours after the show fell victim to Fox's pre-upfronts house-cleaning along with "The Mick" and "Last Man on Earth." A Fox insider cited the network's added night of "Thursday Night Football" and "a large portion of our new series renewed" as reasons for the trio of cancellations.
The news brought about an outpouring of support from fans who objected to the decision, including from Mark Hamill, Guillermo del Toro and Lin-Manuel Miranda — who encouraged his followers to tweet "#RenewB99" to save the show.
An individual familiar with the discussions told TheWrap Thursday that producers Universal Television received interest from multiple other networks and streaming platforms about potentially picking up a sixth season of the show.
