What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the FX cable channel, Taboo follows adventurer James Keziah Delaney (Tom Hardy). In 1814, he returns to London after spending 10 years in Africa. Upon his arrival, he finds that his father has died. Now, James is line to inherit what is left of the family shipping empire. This fact unnerves his half‐sister Zilpha (Oona Chaplin), her husband Thorne Geary (Jefferson Hall), and the chair of the mighty East India Company, Sir Stuart Strange (Jonathan Pryce). Taboo also stars Stephen Graham, Michael Kelly, Jessie Buckley, David Hayman, Tom Hollander, Jason Watkins, Franka Potente, Ed Hogg, Leo Bill, Christopher Fairbank, Richard Dixon, Mark Gatiss, Nicholas Woodeson, Lucian Msamati, and introduces Robert Parker.
Season One Ratings
The first season of Taboo averaged a 0.43 in the 18-49 demographic and a total audience of about 1.24 million. Find out how Taboo stacks up against the other FX TV shows.
On March 8, 2017, Taboo was renewed for a second season on FX and BBC One. A premiere date has yet to be announced. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Despite being described as a mini-series, Taboo co-creator Steven Knight has said he has plans for three seasons. Although the Taboo ratings are decent for an FX series, they’re a bit weak for a first season show. While Taboo doesn’t approach the numbers of top performers American Crime Story and American Horror Story, after them, it is one of the stronger shows on FX. Since Taboo is a co-production with BBC One (which defrays the cost), it is not a big surprise that Taboo has been renewed for a second season.

Taboo is the best show I’ve watched in a long while. A military buddy turned me on to it around episode 5. I dont binge watch tv, but I couldn’t stop watching this masterpiece of craziness. I have since turned 3 other buddies onto this and they all feel the same way. Please, please, please, bring this back!!! It WILL catch major traction once the word spreads
We absolutely LOVE Taboo! It’s our new favorite show. It’s so hard to wait a week to find out what’s going to happen. We really, really hope it is renewed for a second season!
It’s excellent, a higher level script. . Hoping it’s renewed for all 3 seasons
Please renew Taboo!!! It is a fabluous show with amazing actors and actresses! Tom Hardy, just the best!! Love it.
OMG PLEASE RENEW Taboo!! I love the complete cast and their characters. Tom Hardy is just perfection! This show is different, mysterious, and intriging. How American Horror Story is still on is beyond me! Please keep Taboo!
Taboo is positively addictive!!!! The characters are so intriguing; Tom Hardy has never been better in a role and the supporting cast is perfect!!! Please, please keep this series alive for Season 2 (at least!!!)
Im so intensely intrigue with the show, so anxious to see the next show.. Taboo keeps you guessing, anticipating, and fullfilling. Please renew… The work is suspenseful, historically creative, underlining dark secrets. Will keep looking forward for season 2
Taboo is the best new show on TV right now. Taboo is a premium quality cable show. It’s stellar entertainment. I hope FX does not pass up the opportunity to have a show of this caliber on its network.
I love Taboo! This is one of the only shows that I cannot wait to watch every week. It would be travesty not to have more of this amazing work!
Every week I look forward to watching this show over all others. I’m hooked and the acting is awesome. Please continue this program.
