Brooklyn Nine-Nineisn't going anywhere.
After Fox abruptly cancelled the sitcom on Thursday, NBC stepped up the next day to announce plans for a 13-episode sixth season. It's not clear when the new episodes will air, but fans can at least rest easy in the knowledge that the show will have an opportunity to deliver a sense of closure.

NBC Entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt avoided addressing the show's future one way or another in a statement announcing the news (h/t/ The Hollywood Reporter).

"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," Greenblatt said. "[Co-creators] Mike Schur, Dan Goor and [star] 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 lineup. I speak for everyone at NBC, here’s to the Nine-Nine!"
As Greenblatt's statement suggests, NBC isn't a surprising savior for Brooklyn Nine-Nine. The company's production arm, Universal Television, produces the series. Fox saw interest from other potential buyers, including Hulu and Netflix (both of which passed, according to THR), but NBC makes sense.

It helps that Schur, co-creator of NBC's beloved Parks and Recreation(which Goor executive produced), already has a hit with the network in The Good Place. He's also got another series on the way, called Abby's. Samberg, too, has NBC ties going back to his days as a Saturday Night Livecast member.
Predictably, Brooklyn Nine-Nine's vocal fan community -- which roared so loudly following the cancellation, a return for the show seemed more like a "when" than an "if" -- greeted NBC's news with a mix of enthusiasm and memes.
