The long-running police procedural sitcom Brooklyn Nine-Nine has now ended. Canceled by its original network Fox in 2018, Brooklyn Nine-Nine was picked up by NBC soon after. Since then, the show has only grown in popularity, and as expected, fans are heartbroken about Brooklyn Nine-Nine's ending.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine takes place in the fictional 99th Precinct of the New York City Police Department. The show has been praised for tackling serious social issues without losing its sense of humor. Brooklyn Nine-Nine stars Andy Samberg, Terry Crews, Joe Lo Truglio, Melissa Fumero, Stephanie Beatriz, and Andre Braugher.

The final two episodes aired on NBC on September 16 to a great reception by fans. Thankfully the show at least nailed the ending. But those wanting to fill the void left by Brooklyn Nine-Nine can find comfort in other similar shows. Brooklyn Nine-Nine will be available on Netflix soon.
