Lin-Manuel Miranda, Mark Hamill, and celebs who helped save 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' now have a group chat
Brooklyn Nine-Nine recently getting cancelled by Fox and miraculously picked up again for a sixth season by NBC has really brought the world together.
Enemies cast aside their differences, strangers befriended one another on the internet, and old friends reunited to save the beloved police comedy. But that's not all.
Lin-Manuel Miranda, Mark Hamill, Seth Meyers, Guillermo del Toro, and Sean Astin started a freaking group chat about it.
NO BIG DEAL.
The hours of heartfelt pleas and tweets to save the show worked. Now Nine-Nine fans have another season and this brilliant fanboy group chat to enjoy.
OK, here's how this all went down. After news of the show's cancellation first spread, Hamilton creator and star Lin-Manuel Miranda shared his disappointment and love for Brooklyn Nine-Nine on Twitter.
