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.

My husband and I both love the show – must must must renew!!
This was an awesome show with all kinds of twists and it should come back for another season or two or three or more thanks
Absolutely love this show ! please bring back
I hope Taboo gets a second season. And even a third. I looked foward to each new episode. I want to see James conect with his Native American roots.
Rarely today is there good entertainment on TV
This is a spectacular show
Really want to view more, bring it on
Love this show! My sons have also started watching! Please bring it back! Taboo needs to be renewed!

Please renew!! We absolutely love it! It’s different and keeps us on our toes. Tom Hardy is excellent! I would watch many more seasons. If it comes back for season 2, I think it’ll give more opportunity for more viewers! ❤️

There is no way there isnt going to be a season 2. I swear if you leave your fans hanging like this there will be alot of disappointed people. Myself included. I couldnt wait for the new episode to come out each week. And i dredded having to wait a whole week just to see what happened next.
