Taken has been cancelled so there won’t be a third season. Could it be revived someday? Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will NBC cancel or renew Taken for season three? Based on the US broadcasts, it was likely to be cancelled after one season. However, the show’s success overseas played into its continuation, so we’ll have to wait and see if that holds true, again — with much lower US ratings this time around.

What do you think? Are you sorry to hear that Taken won’t be renewed for a third season? Do you think that NBC should have cancelled this TV show?
I actually love this show and it should get a 3rd season and some. The networks take off all the good and great shows to put ******** shows up that end after 1 season. There’s another show that comes to mind I use to watch that was cancelled in the middle of season when it shouldn’t have.
I’m REALLY disappointed the show is not coming back for a third season. Each episode was amazing! Great storylines! Each episode kept me on the edge of my seat! Makes me wonder if these ratings are authentic… NBC is making a mistake, a huge one… AGAIN!! PLEASE, bring back TAKEN!!
I agree with you!
My husband and I really enjoyed watching Taken and are VERY VERY disappointed that the show was cancelled. We have watched the show from the beginning and always looked forward to the next episode. The stories and the acting are great. Such a disappointment when you get hooked on a good show and then it’s gone. Please please reconsider and bring back Taken!
We found this show by word of mouth, in the middle of season 2. It is by far a show that keeps us on the edge of our seats! We even both the dvd of season 1. Both seasons are great, and we are upset a tremendously written and acted show is gone! We all wish you would re- consider!
Please reconsider bringing back Taken!! I love this show, i was able to record it and watch it when i got home, always looked forward to seeing what had happen… On occasions when im able to watch it when aired, i was pumped and on the edge of my seat til the end of the episodes. Please please please BRING BACK TAKEN!!!!!
I am SO disappointed! The finale was NOT a good way to end either
I’m in withdrawal!! This has been the only show I looked forward to watching! I just binge-watched the entire first season the last two nights. Please bring this back somehow/someway! Especially enjoy Jennifer Beals and Clive Standen! Waiting for Netflix to put season 2 on!
PLEASE RECONSIDER RENEWING “AKEN-IT IS ONE OF THE BETTER SHOWS NBC HAS HAD ON FOR QUITE A WHILE. I’VE TOLD MANY PEOPLE ABOUT IT AND THEY ALL WATCHED IT AND LIKED IT.
NBC is making a mistake….. This show is great… they should reconsider
My husband and I really enjoyed the show. Really sorry to hear it was cancelled.
We enjoyed Taken! Sorry to hear it’s cancelled
Please do not cancel Taken I love that show I get my popcorn and watch my favorite show on Saturday night me and my family watch that show together keep it on the air
Please reconsider the cancellation of Taken! Its fresh, exciting and totally enjoyable! Cast is fantastic and have great chemistry! Totally a keeper!
Taken should not be cancelled. It has lots of action and good actors that are believable. The actor that plays Brian Mills is excellent. I have not seen him in any other shows or movies and he definitely should get more parts.
PLEASE dont cancel “Taken”. And PLEASE consider bringing back the formula from the first season. America seriously needs to see teamwork and loyalty and that our military/government is still competent. I love seeing the team, being a team. And, I love Jennifer Beals. Wonderful actor! Thank you.
