It looks like Fox has a lot of confidence in its current comedy slate, if its early season renewal news from Friday is any indication. According to Deadline, the network has renewed New Girl, The Mindy Project, and the Golden Globe-winning freshman sitcom Brooklyn Nine-Nine for fourth, third, and second seasons, respectively. While it’s not very common for networks to hand out early renewals before airing pilots – especially for ratings strugglers like Mindy and Brooklyn – Fox has begun a new approach to pilot season, so this move may be part of that bigger push.
