AceShowbiz - "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" has been saved after a huge outcry against its cancellation on social media. It was confirmed on Thursday, May 10 that the police sitcom, starring Andy Samberg, Chelsea Peretti and Terry Crews, had been canceled by FOX after five seasons.

The announcement came as a shock to fans, including a number of famous faces, who took to social media to vent their anger. "Oh NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!" Mark Hamill wrote, along with crying emojis. "I'm SO not ready to say #ByeBye99. Be forewarned @FOXTV-when networks dump shows I love, I'm known for holding grudges a long, L-O-N-G time... #EverythingILikeGetsCancelled."

"Hamilton" creator Lin Manuel-Miranda tweeted, "RENEW BROOKLYN NINE NINE I ONLY WATCH LIKE 4 THINGS THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS #RenewB99," while Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro called the show "majestic."

"Brooklyn Nine-Nine has given us fully human characters, beautiful, powerful, flawed, vulnerable, majestic," he tweeted. "In whichever form, B99 must return. It will. And I will be there to watch. And, it is my hope that I hope that, this time, a lot more people do too."

And on Friday the show's executive producer Michael Schur took to Twitter to share the exciting news. "Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Season 6. NBC," he wrote. "This happened because the fans of the show went berzerk. We can't thank you -- or @NBC -- enough. #Brooklyn99."
