Celebs took to Twitter on Thursday to express their sadness over Fox’s cancellation of Dan Goor and Michael Schur’s cop comedy “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” after five seasons.
“RENEW BROOKLYN NINE NINE,” Lin-Manuel Miranda tweeted. “I ONLY WATCH LIKE 4 THINGS. THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS #RenewB99.”
When a user responded to Miranda that he was too late, he shot back, “take a walk. come back when you’re ready to FIGHT FOR THE SHOW.”
“Star Wars” star Mark Hamill was also crushed by the news, writing, “Oh NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! 😩😭😫😢 I’m SO not ready to say #ByeBye99. Be forewarned @FOXTV-when networks dump shows I love, I’m known for holding grudges a long, L-O-N-G time. I’m still mad @CBS didn’t renew #SquarePegs! 😡”
Hamill added, “#EverythingILikeGetsCancelledMark.”
Sean Astin was really bummed out by the news.
“I can’t imagine this is a good business decision,” he wrote, tweeting out a link to a petition to save the show.
Astin continued, “Here’s the thing about Brooklyn 99 being cancelled, I don’t want it to be. I love all of those people & they earned the right 2 have a final season victory lap where I could emotionally prepare. Don’t know them. Have nothing 2 do with the show. I’m just a fan who deserves better.”
The Backstreet Boys also tweeted, “Thanks for the memories, #Brooklyn99” with a sad-face emoji.
However all hope is not lost for the nine-nine. On Friday morning there was chatter that Hulu or Netflix would rescue the show.
“Brooklyn Nine-Nine” stars Andy Samberg, Terry Crews, Melissa Fumero, Joe Lo Truglio, Andre Braugher, Chelsea Peretti and Stephanie Beatriz.
