Brooklyn Nine-Nine season 5 to be released on Netflix UK on 8 March

In an unusual move, the streaming platform allowed a fan to announced the news on Twitter

Netflix has revealed when season five of Brooklyn Nine-Nine will hit the streaming platform in the UK.

In an unusual move, Netflix allowed a fan called Darcy to announced the news on Twitter, having tweeted the streaming service every day for the past few months asking for updates.

The tweet read: “Clear your schedule because Brooklyn Nine-Nine season 5 is coming to @NetflixUK on March 8th! very noice!”

Netflix quoted the tweet and added: “Darcy has been asking when b99 s5 is coming basically every day for the last few months, so we decided to let her give you the good news...”

Meanwhile, in the US, the show makes a slightly miraculous return on NBC after being cancelled by original broadcaster Fox earlier this year, citing a lack of room on their upcoming schedule to continue the cop comedy.

Unfortunately, the network failed to count on how beloved the series really was, as thousands of fans expressed outrage online. Soon enough, though, NBC came to the rescue, snatching the series from Fox and saving the day.

Season six of Brooklyn Nine-Nine will premiere tonight on NBC.
