We’ve gone through a lot, squad, but maybe no one more so than Brooklyn Nine-Nine captain Dan Goor (official titles: co-creator and showrunner). In the span of about 24 hours, his show about the most lovable precinct in all of Brooklyn received notice that its current fifth season would be its last on Fox. News of the cancellation prompted an outpouring of grief on the internet as fans (including Lin-Manuel Miranda, Sean Astin, Mark Hamill, and Guillermo del Toro) went through the five stages. It turns out, behind the scenes, producers were working hard on the third stage of grief — bargaining — and eventually negotiated a last-minute save: NBC picked up the show for a 13-episode sixth season. We got on the phone with Goor after the NBC Upfront presentation in New York to talk about the emotional roller coaster he experienced when he got the call from Fox on Thursday afternoon that the show had been canceled and then another one Friday evening that NBC had picked it up. It might not feel as dramatic as how everything played out on Twitter, but hot damn, it’s just as satisfying.
