Hot Damn! The Nine Nine is back!!
That's right, it was announced late Friday that NBC has picked up the cancelled Fox comedy for a sixth season that contains 13 episodes. Andy Samberg and the original cast will be back.
Executive producer Dan Goor broke the news late Friday via Twitter.
"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," NBC Entertainent Chairman Robert Greenblatt said in a statement. "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!"
It was on Thursday that the show sealed it's fate when Fox announced it was not renewing the show, but the fans (that includes famous names like Lin-Manuel Miranda, Mark Hamill and Guillermo del Toro) had raised such an uproar on social media that NBC took notice. The pick-up now gives EP Michael Schur three comedies on NBC: The Good Place, Brooklyn Nine-Nine and the new comedy Abby's.
With the last 24 hours being rough of learning that the Nine-Nine and Great News were cancelled but when NBC picked up the Nine Nine I was over the moon with excitement. The show is literally one of the greatest comedies of the 21st Century with it's strong cast, writing and humor.
