Brooklyn Nine-Nine fans went through a bit of a rollercoaster ride earlier this year.
The series was cancelled by Fox, before being revived for a sixth season at NBC – although it will only be returning to the schedule (and our screens) in early 2019.
But while the world of TV cancellations can be tricky enough, and not to mention unpredictable, the cast have assured fans the upcoming series won’t be the last we see of Peralta and co.
Well, kind of.
Andy Samberg recently told TVLine that season six will “100 per cent” not be their last – although he admitted he couldn’t really say for sure, he was just “trying to be confident”.
He added:
“It’s gonna get all written and shot before we even air, so we won’t know what the ratings are, the public response…”
The actor said it was all a “real roll of the dice”, so they may end up shooting three different endings to the finale – just in case.
Better safe than sorry, but let’s hope the Nine-Nine will be sticking around for years to come.
The series was officially cancelled by Fox in early May, after five seasons on the network.
But barely a day after the cop sitcom was axed, NBC stepped in to save the day – and gave the show a 13-episode season six.
According to Entertainment Weekly, NBC Entertainment’s Chairman Robert Greenblatt said in a statement:
“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.
“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!”
