This TV show has been described as a mini-series but an executive producer of the Taboo TV show has plans for a second season. Will Taboo be a hit in the ratings for FX and BBC One? Will it be renewed for season two or will it be cancelled? Stay tuned.
Taboo is set in 1814 and revolves around an adventurer who returns to England. James Keziah Delaney (Tom Hardy) returns to London after spending 10 years in Africa. He finds that his father has died. Now, he’s set to inherit what is left of his father’s shipping empire — much to the consternation of 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). Michael Kelly is also part of the main FX cast. The recurring cast includes Jessie Buckley, Jefferson Hall, Scroobius Pip, Edward Hogg, Leo Bill, Christopher Fairbank, Roger Ashton-Griffiths, Richard Dixon, Jason Watkins, Nicholas Woodeson, Franka Potente, and Danny Ligairi.

What do you think? Do you like the Taboo TV series on FX? Do you think that it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Without a doubt my most favorite show! The acting is spectacular, the intrigue keeps my at the edge of my seat. PLEASE KEEP THIS ONE!
Best show on TV by far! We need a 2nd season stat!
Great show, please renew!
I love this show! The acting is incredible! PUH LEEZE keep it on
Oh my goodness, RENEW!!! Please change demographics, millennial snowflakes may not love this, but anyone over the age of 35 LOVE IT!
You joking? most of the people that watch this I know are ~21, myself included. Small sample size, sure – but this isn’t just a show for the ‘more experienced’ folk!
Please keep the seasons coming! Our household absolutely loves this show!
Definitely renew!!! I can’t get enough of this show!!! I am a woman age 47, maybe you should poll mature audiences to get a more accurate idea of who watches. In addition, I always have to record the show and watch it later due to scheduling conflict, does your poll include that? Thanks!
I absolutely LOVE this show. GENIUS! From the set designs, to the costumes, to the delicious storyline….I think a lot of Viking fans will be coming over. Not sure how they gey theur “ratings” but it doesn’t reflect the real picture. Really looking forward to mant more seasons!
PLEASE RENEW!!! Best show on FX since Sons of Anarchy. Love Love
Love Tom Hardy in this series!
My husband and I love this journey Tom Hardy is taking us on this season. We are really looking forward to the next Season. We are ages 55-65. Change your demographics maybe ratings would be higher. Thank you, Victoria Cioffi
I agree! I’m in the same age category and I love this show. The acting is superb and the story is very original. Reminds me a bit of Penny Dreadful but even better.
Please, please keep them coming!! Absolutely love this show, I look forward to watching every week!! I want season 2,3,4,5..etc
Please renew for 2nd series. Fantastic series 1. Perhaps ratings low due to the title, some people may not have even tried it for that reason
Please please renew!!!!
RENEW PLEASE!! We can’t leave James Keziah Delaney & his fellow Americans forever at sea… There’s so much more Taboo to tell! I’d watch Tom Hardy anytime, but getting to watch him in this bad*** role is an addiction I don’t want to give up!!! An interview with the cast & creators would be great to see & may also help to gather more followers.
Please renew ! It is so well acted. The cast is awesome!!!’
