‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ And ‘Last Man On Earth’ Renewed

Brooklyn Nine-Nine and The Last Man on Earth follow Gotham, Empire, Scream Queens, and Bones in snagging early renewals. Returning series New Girl is also expected to get a renewal, but word is the deal is still being worked out.

We’re so proud of these comedies. Each has its own unique voice, but they both boast terrific ensembles with stand-out characters and, of course, phenomenal writing, which are the hallmarks of all great comedies. We’d like to thank the executive producers, casts and crews of Brooklyn Nine-Nine and The Last Man on Earth for their tremendous work this season, and look forward to what’s in store next year.

The fates of Fox’s freshman comedies – Grandfathered, The Grinder, and Cooper Barrett’s Guide to Surviving Life — remain up in the air. Of the three, Grandfathered has done the best in the ratings and stands a decent chance of returning. The Grinder’s fate is less certain, though it has critical acclaim working in its favor. Also still waiting for pickups are the dramas Rosewood, Lucifer, and Sleepy Hollow.
