Its total viewers are actually almost the same as Sunday nights just a lower demo seems to be watching on Tuesdays
It's a Lock for season 4 anyway for Syndication purposes and Fox has bigger issues then B-99, just look at the Number for The Grinder Yikes”
You’re right, quite often a programme in its 3rd season has an extremely good chance of getting a 4th season to push it’s episode count into the territory that’ll make it a good syndication package to sell.
However, Brooklyn Nine Nine’s situation isn’t as straight forward as that. It’s broadcast by FOX, but produced by NBC Universal.
So NBC Universal will obviously want to produce a 4th season, but FOX has no investment in the programme long term, so could quite easily cancel it after its 3rd season if they wanted to. If that happened I suspect NBC Universal would try and find a new broadcaster for a 4th season, maybe Netflix, Amazon or HULU, or even NBC themselves.
But as it stands, I suspect FOX will re-new it anyway because (like you’ve said) they aren’t spoilt for choice right now.
