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.

Please renew Taboo, I’m 62 so it’s not just millennials who enjoy such great scripts. Tom hardy and his (I’m in need of you gang) were amazing and I hope to see season 2. We have to see what journey James Delaney and his crew will begin to endeavor.
LOVE Taboo. Best TV I have seen in a long time. When does season 2 start? Can’t wait to see what happens next. I am so glad I stumbled upon this show.
Please renew. This is the only series that my husband and I really looked forward to each week. Beautifully filmed. Excellent cast.
Sure hope there are several more seasons, very entertaining show.
I love the show! Tom Hardy’s character is mesmerizing with each grunt and stare. I can’t wait each week for the next one. Please bring it back for season 2 or many more. It’s the best show on TV. I recorded it and I will be watching it over and over until season 2. Miss it already!
Please do not cancel Taboo; it is the best tv entertainment I have had in a very long time. I love it!!
I really enjoyed taboo it’s dress and the sets really looked like Britain during the time and the story that involves Delaney into the occult is intriguing.i hope season 2 and 3 are going to continue the story.
This show is the best on TV right now, please renew it. Everything about it is amazing, the acting, writing, scenery, etc. This is a one of a kind show, far superior to the usual dross we are fed by out of touch TV networks.
I love this show.. best in a long time.. tom hardy is grand.. please come back for 2nd season.. or more..I’m missing it already..robin
PLEASE BRING TABOO BACK! My girlfriends and I love Delaney, Lorna and the entire crew! WE NEED MORE!
My husband and I have just finished season one of Taboo and loved it! Hoping for a season two and three!
Finally, a show that doesn’t revolve around dramatized “reality” shows or worn out storylines. Please DO NOT cancel Taboo!
This show is really intriguing and the cast, especially Tom Hardy, are phenomenal! I love the plot twists and the tortured character of James Delaney.
Do television a favor and bring back Taboo for as many seasons as possible!!
Yes i would like to see taboo renewed for a second season.
Absolutely! It is a one of a kind show that so far has definitely lived up to its name. Love it!
