Watch your back, Pontiac Bandit: “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” will be back on the case for at least another year. Fox has renewed its Andy Samberg sitcom for the 2017-18 TV season.

In addition to the “SNL” alum, the workplace comedy’s talented ensemble cast of regulars consists of Andre Braugher, Terry Crews, Melissa Fumero, Joe Lo Truglio, Stephanie Beatriz, Chelsea Peretti, Joel McKinnon Miller and Dirk Blocker. “Brooklyn” hails from Universal Television, and is executive produced by Dan Goor, Michael Schur, David Miner and Luke Del Tredici.

Both the series and Samberg have won Golden Globe awards. Braugher has been nominated for an Emmy each season thus far.

Of the new series set to debut 2017-18 season, Fox has given the greenlight to medical drama “The Resident,” supernatural comedy “Ghosted” and workplace sitcom “LA to Vegas.”

Series previously renewed by the network include Lee Daniels’ “Empire” and “Star,” “Gotham,” “Lethal Weapon,” “Lucifer” and comedies “Last Man on Earth” and “The Mick.”

Cancellations include freshman dramas “Pitch” and “APB” and comedies “Son of Zorn” and “Making History.” “Sleepy Hollow” was also canceled after four seasons and “Rosewood” got the axe after two.
