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?
Please please please at least bring back some episodes to solve the cliffhanger we were left on! Absolutely love this show!! Gutted to find out there was no more!! Please please please!
I watched all 4 original Taxi movies (French) and the one with Queen Latifah.
I was so glad when I saw this serie. Bam! It was cancelled. Why? Such a good serie, totally different than the normal American cop movie. If you love this show, I recommend you watch the original Taxi (1998). Netflix, please pick this up and continue the show.
Just binge watch this show on Netflix. I was crushed when I saw there was going to be no more episodes and that they had actually cancelled this show. I don’t know what NBC was thinking but it just proves once again that they’re crazy every good show that has ever been on their station they cancel. Well maybe we’ll get lucky and Netflix will decide to pick it up and make it a Netflix show.
Renewed, pleaseeee…!
Loved this show. Just saw season one or Netflix. I can’t believe the series ended with just one season!!!
this needs more episodes or a movie omg :'( i love this show
So disappointed just finished watched the last episode, and just finding out no new episodes , just heart broken
Unfortunately NBC is notorious for cancelling a show, leaving you hanging! I need to see who made a series before even starting it….. Sadly
I stumbled across this series on Netflix and was totally into it. There has to be more!!! I realise a show can’t go on forever but this one definitely needs an ending. What happened to Nico and his mother? What happened to Greg after the dead body in his apartment. So many questions still to be answered.
I did not see the show when it originally aired but I have enjoyed watching it and am VERY disappointed that it was not continued. Like so many shows if not marketed well the brass cans them. Even though good ratings could have been achieved if the shows had been well advertised. i.e. I’d never heard of it. I just stumbled upon it while surfing NETFLIX for something to watch. MARKETING FAILURE
You should bring back Taxi Brooklyn ! This show is awesome. Its not the shows fault it had poor advertising . I and a whole bunch more people just found this show a month ago could not stop watching and there is no more. So very extremely disappointing.
Can’t just leave us hanging. There must be a ‘ploy’ there.
Please bring the show back!! It just leaves you hanging.
I am upset because there are no more Taxi Brooklyn!!!!!
I really upset that the show was cancelled. It was a really great show. So I hope someone brings the show back.
Really annoyed there is no second season of this enjoyable show. You have kept us hanging!!!
