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?
You can’t just have a final episode like that and not do a second season!! Everyone who watches it needs to know what happens. There are going to be millions more viewing watching this on Netflix!!
SERIOUSLY THIS IS A GREAT SHOW! ! and now you’re telling me there is no 2nd Series, come on NBC or Netflix, we need to see what happens next.
Why do you guys in TV land cancel great shows and keep dumb, unbelievable so called “reality” shows on TV.
Please bring back Taxi Brooklyn so that we can have something better to watch on TV than The Bachelorette and all that other garbage PLEEAASSEEE……..
To continue with what I was saying, read all the positive blogs. This show was loved. Even if it isn’t put back on the regular channel, let Season 2 be a Netflix original. We are all dying to know what happened to Cat’s Mom, ex-husband, Leo’s son & ex-wife, I mean really, why would you do that to us. If there isn’t a Season 3, then finish off 2 with everyone moving on.
Loved taxi brooklyn..need more
Loved taxi brooklyn…need more
There NEEDS to be a second season. How can they leave us hanging on the cliff like that?
I really like Taxi Broking. Would like to see the next seasons.
Loved the show.
I just binge watched the First Season of Taxi Brooklyn on Netflix. I loved it! Even though it was 2014, I think they should do a second season.
Loved it. bring back a second season. You can’t leave viewers hanging with the Season one ending.
YOU NEED TO BRING THIS BACK!!! THIS IS A JOKE CANCELLING ALL THE GOOD SHOWS LIKE THAT! The characters were great and so was the story line. SO ANNOYED!!
great show shouldnt have cancelled….
agreed!! Bring it back!!!!!!!
I also just found this series on Netflix. This is one of the really good shows I have found. I searched to see about season 2 only to discover there won’t be one. Very disappointing! This is solid acting and interesting characters and unique concept. The two leads work so well together. I wish Netflix could pick this one up.
It’s just as bad as the idiots who cancelled ‘eastwick’ and lucifer. Lucifer is an amazing show and they cancelling after 3 seasons yet they do millions of seasons of crap shows with crap storylines. If Netflix can take over and Make a forth season of lucifer why not do so for Taxi Brooklyn
this show is like one of the best shows on netflix and it only have 1 season like what the **** are y’all thinking for cancelling a good show like that and why would you cancel it like that like what happened to leo’s son and his ex wife what happened to leo’s roommate like i have so many questions so yes y’all do need to get on y’all **** and make a season 2 + more happen…please and thank you
I’m pissed just finished season 1 , i need to know , i need closure
Loved the show, would like to see a season 2
