Brooklyn Nine-Nine was abruptly dropped by Fox last week, much to the surprise of fans.

However, almost immediately fellow network NBC picked up the show as their own. Originally the show was supposed to air on NBC, but without a solid cast in place the network sold to Fox, only to receive the show back this year.

Enormous amounts of fans took to social media in hopes of keeping the show on air, and it looks like their effort has paid off.

Accroding to Variety, “When he learned Hulu wasn’t interested in saving his show the way they had previously saved Mindy Kaling’s “The Mindy Project” (which also originated on Fox), Goor admits he worried a bit. But by the end of the week he got a text saying NBC was going to pick up “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” for one final season,” stated showrunner Dan Goor.
