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?
I just watched the entire season on Netflix. I can’t believe there is no season 2. The way the show ended, there needs to be a season 2. At least sell it to Netflix.
I am so upset that the series Taxi Brooklyn was canceled!
I’m also very disappointed not to see this great show get picked up for a second season. It’s definitely a fantastic show. Why decide to leave people at a cliffhanger, there so many unanswered questions.
How dare you make a fantastic show only to leave us hanging. This is one of the best shows that I have seen in years someone needs to pick this show back up and make more seasons soon
I totally agree it is a great show. There should be another season and then probably more.
Discovered this on Netflix. Disapointed only one season. Always discovering shows late only to discover canceled after one or two seasons. Who are making these decisions?
Ditto I found it on Netflix in love it
Omg.. I just found this show on Netflix last night, and binged watch it. I can’t believe ya’ll just let it go like that. I really enjoyed this, and I needs a season 2! What is wrong with ya’ll? I’m really livid about this! Bring it back Now!
Bummer!! I really liked this show. Yet another show left n limbo….
Loved this show! Someone needs to pick it up! So refreshing to have these characters, action-packed, great car chases, and so entertaining!!
I so agree Rebecca we need this kind of entertainment
I loved this show. I am tried of NBC. I watched it again on Netflix. I hope Netflix will pick it up.
Enoyed it, i would have loved 2 see more episodes or more seasons
Can’t believe they left it like that. I enjoyed this show. Loved the element of it not being an emotionally devoid typical American show.
They could have given the viewers a decent ending , how pathetic to leave the viewers up in the air . I was enjoying the show and like everyone else WE want another season !
They need a new season
This is not good. Another good show that I just got caught up on stopped at season 1 with a cliffhanger in the end. Its They have done this many times. Time to stop watching these channels. Its funny that more and more reality shows keep popping up. Funny thing is, most of them are not reality. Made up junk. NBC is starting to tank. Be careful what shows you get into, because they will most likely just cancel it.
Why would they cancel the show it’s was a great show and I’m extremely pissed that they left us on a cliffhanger like that I want to know what’s going to happen at least give us the ending
Same i just watched it all on netflix and it is sooooo bad they left us like that i need more :/ i wanna know ab her mom and the son and so much uugugugugugugg
