Brooklyn Nine-Nine is back on Netflix because Netflix acquired the streaming rights for seasons 5 and 6 of the show, which were added on February 26, 2025. However, to make room for these seasons, seasons 1 and 2 were removed from the platform on the same date. This reshuffling is part of Netflix's licensing arrangement; the earlier seasons (1 and 2) were likely removed as a strategic move related to rights management and to encourage viewers who want to watch or rewatch the entire series, including seasons 7 and 8, to use Peacock, where all eight seasons are available in the US. Internationally, all eight seasons of Brooklyn Nine-Nine are available on Netflix. The show initially was on Hulu and Peacock after airing on Fox and NBC, and Netflix's rights to stream seasons 1-6 are licensed through at least April 2026.
