Many had doubts when FOX moved Brooklyn Nine-Nine to Sunday nights this season. It’s worked out okay for the sitcom however and the ratings are up 13% in the 18-49 demographic. It’s one of the few shows that’s seen a season-to-season increase. The network has now renewed the sitcom for a third season.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine follows a group of unique detectives and their newly appointed captain at the NYPD’s 99th Precinct. The sitcom’s cast includes Andy Samberg, Stephanie Beatriz, Terry Crews, Melissa Fumero, Joe Lo Truglio, Chelsea Peretti, Dirk Blocker, Joel McKinnon MIller, and Andre Braugher.
Here’s the FOX press release with the good news:

It takes time for good shows to get recognized some times. I just started watching and can’t get enough. It’s a well put together cast with unique characters. I want more seasons!
This is one of my favorite shows! It combines crude humor with wit and it’s fantastic. I originally didn’t want to watch it because its based on cops, but it turned out to be a gem!
Also, I am now weirdly attracted to Andy Samberg..
