NBC has announced that acclaimed cop comedy Brooklyn Nine-Nine has been renewed for a seventh season.
“It’s been one of our great joys as a network to give Brooklyn Nine-Nine a second life,” said Lisa Katz and Tracey Pakosta, Co-Presidents of Scripted Programming, NBC Entertainment. “Cheers to Dan Goor, Mike Schur, Luke Del Tredici and David Miner, and our amazing cast and crew who each week turn New York’s finest into New York’s funniest.”
The early renewal is a stark contrast to last year when the series was cut by FOX during that network’s rebrand toward broader comedies. Where it was produced by Universal Television and fit NBC’s brand of smart workplace comedies, it was an easy transfer to the new network, which has put in the time, energy, and money to let people know that Brooklyn is treasured NBC property.
The Nine-Nine renewal makes it the third NBC comedy to get a go-ahead to the 2019-20 season, joining Will & Grace and The Good Place. Yet to have their fates determined are Superstore; fall freshman I Feel Bad; and midseason entries A.P. Bio and Abby’s.
In Live + 7, Brooklyn Nine-Nine is averaging a 1.4 demo with 3.9 million total viewers, up over its average on FOX (1.3/2.9 million). Additionally, the series derives 45% of its Live + 7 + Digital rating in adults 18-49 from non-linear sources, the highest percentage among NBC shows.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine airs Thursdays at 9:00 on NBC.
