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?
Omg!!! Please make as many seasons as possible! I love this show. Just binge watched on Netflix! Please please please!!!
All too often the show’s producers leave the public hanging, especially with an ending in the season series finale. It is despicable. Time and time again this happens. It is time to get back into books.
Enjoyed the show,but I’m upset that I won’t have a conclusion to the cliffhanger. Loved the cast, and was hoping for a season 2.
Love the show. Hoping 4 season 2

I hate it when they have a good show and leave it with a cliff hanger ending for season 1 and then don’t do a Season 2. Damn it was a good show.
i just watched the first season and loved it. I am now really disappointed that there Will not be season two. What a horrible way to leave viewers hanging!!
I am deeply disappointed you cancelled Taxi Brooklyn. Interesting story lines, strong characters, excellent acting. There are good reasons why I rarely watch nbc anymore, and this is certainly one of them. Shame on you.
I liked the show and was waiting for season 2. I’m very disappointed there won’t be a 2nd season.
I found the show Taxi Brooklyn on N$%F&#X I just wanted something to pass a little time. I read the reviews and if I had heeded the many warnings I would have missed an enjoyable show. There were many complaints about how stupid and unreal the show was because it centered around a cop who was not allowed to drive due to losing her license and who went about police business using a taxi cab driver to drive her around…These complaints from a generation who swoons and drools over scads of Vampire, and Zombie TV shows and movies? They can… Read more »
I got rid of my tv due to all the garbage programming. this is the first series in a long time that held my interest. I love the way the show flowed. there was something different, almost non-formulmatic about it. too much for the walmart watcher to grasp? shame.

I think that it should be a second season because it is a good season to watch I m was going into it then you said they will not be another seasons that wrong
