Nine-Nine fans rejoice: Brooklyn Nine-Nine has been renewed for season 8 by NBC! The report that NBC is bringing back the police-themed workplace comedy was confirmed by various trades, with details about the renewal still coming to light (at the time of writing this). That’s a pretty big announcement to make, as Brooklyn Nine-Nine has yet to even reach its season 7 premiere date; the show is scheduled to return to NBC on February 6th. With this season 8 early renewal, Brooklyn Nine-Nine will have officially carried on for three seasons after Fox canceled the series at the end of season 5.

It’s understandable why NBC would want to make the move to bring back Brooklyn Nine-Nine early: the show is at 130 episodes heading into season 7, which means that the additional episodes of seasons 7 and 8 would put the series on a very comfortable blanket of syndication. Looking more toward the future: 8 seasons of Brooklyn Nine-Nine (or more) would provide an awesome binging block for that upcoming Peacock streaming service that NBC is launching – and new episodes of Brooklyn Nine-Nine arriving in the 2020 – 2021 time frame could be nice exclusives to put on the service, as well.
