Can we get a unironic “cool, cool, cool, cool, cool,” over here? ‘Cause “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” has been saved 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 and Andre Braugher-led sitcom for a 13-episode Season 6.
“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 revived.

“Hey everyone, just wanted to say no big deal but….NBC JUST PICKED #BROOKLYN99 UP FOR SEASON 6!!! Thanks in no small part to you, the best fans in the history of the world! Nine-nine!!!!!!!!!” Goor wrote.
The cast includes Samberg (a former alum of NBC’s “Saturday Night Live”), Braugher, Terry Crews, Melissa Fumero, Joe Lo Truglio, Stephanie Beatriz, Chelsea Peretti, Dirk Blocker and Joel McKinnon Miller.
