'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' Canceled; Fans, Stars Launch Effort to Save Show

Fox opted not to renew "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," but fans aren't going to let it go quietly.

News of the series' cancellation came Thursday, and it didn't take long for it to become clear via Twitter that people were very, very unhappy with the news. The hashtags #RenewB99 and #SaveB99, among others, quickly took off; fans everywhere started weighing in on the many merits of the show and how much it has meant to them over its five seasons. Many called for another TV network or streaming services like Netflix and Amazon to save the sitcom.

The wave of support for "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" has been overwhelming. Celebrities and public figures alike have joined in, including "Hamilton" creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, acclaimed musician Questlove, "Star Wars" star Mark Hamill, and British historian Greg Jenner.

idk how to express how important #BrooklynNineNine is & how crushed i am that they cancelled it

its brilliantly stereotype-defying, handles hard topics in a funny but sensitive way, never punches down, has perfect comedic timing. ugh#RenewB99#RenewBrooklynNineNine#Brooklyn99

This lady right here made me understand that I can be a strong woman even though I'm emotional and caring. She made me embrace my ocd. It makes me feel empty inside to lose a show that represents me so well. #BrooklynNineNine#Brooklyn99#RenewB99#SaveB99pic.twitter.com/pzqmGBbMws
