It looks like the ride is over for Taxi Brooklyn. It’s been cancelled by NBC and won’t be returning for a second season this summer.
Taxi Brooklyn follows Cat Sullivan (Chyler Leigh), a tough NYPD Detective who doesn’t let a demotion to foot patrol stop her from trying to find her father’s killer. She finds an unlikely ally in Leo Romba (Jacky Ido), a taxi driver from Marseille. The rest of the cast includes James Colby, Jose Zuniga, Jennifer Esposito, Bill Heck, Ally Walker, and Raul Casso.
The series debuted last June 25th to an unimpressive 1.0 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.34 million viewers. The numbers didn’t improve over the course of the season which averaged a 0.9 rating in the demo and 5.0 million viewers.
The season finale of Taxi Brooklyn aired in September 2014 and there hasn’t been any official word from the network regarding the show’s fate. That’s certainly not a good sign, especially if viewers were hoping to see a second season this summer.
Late last year, executive producer Gary Scott Thompson indicated that things weren’t looking good and that they were “running out of time” — likely an indication that the cast contracts would soon expire. Earlier this year, he wrote that, “If history is any indication, we will probably never have official word” [on Taxi Brooklyn’s fate].
When reporting that Leigh had joined the pilot for Supergirl on CBS, TVLine noted that Taxi Brooklyn would not be returning to NBC for a second season.
NBC licensed the show from EuropaCorp Television so their costs are lower. EuropaCorp could potentially produce a second season and find another US outlet to air it but there’s been no word of that. Thompson has said that “it’s up to nbc.”
What do you think? Did you like the Taxi Brooklyn TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Would you watch a second season on another channel?
Another bonehead move cancelling a show that gave me something to look forward to this summer! Oh wait!!! Maybe just maybe they have an even BETTER show they are waiting to show this summer! Yes, that’s it, they want to have another show they can cancel after I’ve watched the whole season. Now it is all making sense to me. Awww, thank you!!!
There should be a second season ,
It was brilliant
Agree!!!
This is a great show! Bring us a second season!
I totally agree with you.
if we had know it did not have a nice ending we would not have watched,
I know I might be late but just watched the first season and I’m devastated If I have really known I would’ve never watched it then if there was not another season like are you kidding me yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
I had just watch it and it’s disappointing to hear that there would not be a second season you just can’t leave a cliff hanger like that and then nothing I would really like to see a second season it can be done especially how it ended. It’s not too often that I find a show that I like and when I do it gets cancelled. I would really like to see a second season .
My thoughts exactly Heather.
Sorry to see this show get the ax. It was for the most part a feel good upbeat hour of television.
Of course NBC would cancel this show. It’s a good show. Really enjoyable to watch. The powers that be just don’t seem to know what is a good TV show. Their scheduling is so lame…enough said on this subject…because it doesn’t matter to them what I think.
I hate to hear that……… I enjoyed the show and really liked the actors..
The only thing I didn’t like about this show was Chyler Leigh. I don’t find her to be a very good actress and found her to be more than a little irritating in this series. I did adore Jacky Ido and truly do hope to see him on television again very soon. The rest of the cast was great and the writing was very good. I’m sorry to see this show not get a renewal but considering the network it was on I’m hardly surprised. The real surprise was that they let the season finish completely and didn’t cancel it… Read more »
I am very disappointed. This is a very good show . I love the characters(real good chemistry) and was really looking forward to seeing the next show to find out what happened to everyone in the season finale(excellent). I am not happy about this at all. If there is any way to bring it back at some point, please do, please.
Too bad, loved this show! 🙂
Not sure what tv folks were thinking.
Great show too bad nbc didn’t stick with it. Very disappointing!!!!!!
It was a so-so show. but NBC probably should have kept is considering how bad everything else they have is.
I can’t stand u nbc **** fu urb a bunch of Idoits there no need 2 watch u’r sorry as channel anymore.
I am not surprised because it is a good show, and that is why NBC will never be likw the 2 other great networks, it is always going to stay at the BOTTOM!!
NBC at the bottom? So you’re unaware that NBC finished first last season in Adults 18-49 and currently in first place this season?
they finished first because of Sunday night football and ONLY BECAUSE OF SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL. take away that ones show and the are even behind Fox ratings. So NBC is not in first place, Sunday Nigh Football is
I’m not surprised — it was fun, tongue-in-cheek entertainment; very enjoyable; good acting; decent scripts. All the networks want anymore are cheap, mindless so-called reality shows. B-O-R-I-N-G!! I really hoped it would be renewed. Too bad…..
Of course they cancelled it – it was too much fun! These days, if a show isn’t bleak (or a reality show), it’s doomed. 🙁
Very Disappointed In Network Television Once Again!!!!!! I’M FINISHED WATCHING ALL NEW SHOWS ON NETWORK TV SWITCH TO NETFLIX!!!!!! MY FRIENDS AND I LOVED THIS SHOWS, BUT HERE WE GO AGAIN A NETWORK SHOWS THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT LOYAL FANS!!!!!!
No one was watching it.
Obviously several were watching it according to the posts…
we did
another show that I got to like during the summer and was looking forward to seeing it again I’m really get disterbed about all these let’s try it for a couple of months and if people don’t respond then we’ll just take it off and it doesn’t take into account people who are over the age of 49 and that kinda irritates me even more than anything else
I am very very disappointed. I would definitely watch more seasons
Why do you guys keep crappy reality shows and cancel the great ones like Taxi Brooklyn and So many others? They need to give a show a chance to catch on- the ending of this one- leaving us not knowing what happened to anyone is cruel for your viewers. I’m going to watch some other channel. You cancel every show my friends and I love! I miss the good ol days when you kept them at least 3-4 seasons when they had a great plot!
