Within two hours of the cancellation announcement, thousands of people including celebrities like Lin-Manuel Miranda got both “Brooklyn 99” and “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” trending, causing the show was picked up by NBC to start its fifth season in January 2019. Despite being a knockout comedy, the show also focuses on societal issues such as LGBTQ issues, discrimination within the police force.
