On what date did Fox cancel Brooklyn Nine-Nine?

Fox canceled Brooklyn Nine-Nine on May 10, 2018.

The cancellation came after the show’s fifth season, ending its original run on Fox. The decision triggered an immediate fan response online, with viewers and celebrities campaigning for another network to save the comedy. The series had built a strong audience and critical reputation, but Fox still chose not to renew it.

NBC announced the rescue the following day, May 11. That rapid turnaround is why the cancellation date is sometimes blurred with the pickup date. May 11 was also associated with other network-cancellation news, which can create another date mix-up.

May 20, 2018 was the date the series’ Fox run ended on television, not the date Fox canceled it. January 10, 2019 was the NBC premiere date for season six. Keeping those three dates separate makes May 10 the clear answer to the question about Fox’s cancellation announcement.
