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 can tell you this,it’s alot better and more interesting than most of the ones (series )they have on now. It would be great to have a second season
I would definitely watch it.
I loved this show, I enjoyed it very much. Please, I want season 2.
There should be a second season. I watched this show from the beginning to the End. I was so disappointed when I found out there would be no season 2.
I just discovered this on Netflix. I love everything about it – the setting, the cosmopolitan air to it, the dialogue snappiness – cannot believe it wasn’t renewed.
Never heard of this show. Just watched season 1 on Netflix July 14th and 16th of 2018. Really enjoyed it, hoping Netflix will pick it up.
I want to see more of this now can’t see what happens Leaving the show like this is not right now you’ll never know if the mother is dead or the ex husband is dead or of the son and mother of that guy is alive because your end like this that’s very messed up it was a good show and I enjoyed it
I loved this show. I have watched a couple of times, only hoping that a second season would pop up somewhere. They just left us hanging…. I am interested enough to want to know more……..
I don’t know why the show was cancelled. Some shows that need to be given the axe, run two or more seasons. I binged watched the entire season so I want to see a second, third, etc. season
Can’t believe it was cancelled. Show better than a lot that are still on and run for many seasons. Should have had a better ending.
I, too watched the whole season and am very sorry that there will be no season 2. The show, actors, story line all terrific. Why would they leave some of the others shows around and cancel this. Is there no taste in this world? Too many little minds watching the bachelor or some nonsense like it.
I’ve never heard of this show until Netflix aired it. I binged watched entire season and could not get enough. It’s sad that the show is cancelled and as with everything else that is good…it gets cancelled because some exec didn’t have it promoted properly in first place. At the very least any broadcaster such as NBC should be required by law to have a one or two episode epilogue/closings, prior to any series aired in case of cancellation/poor ratings. Would a best seller book actually sell if the last chapters were ripped out…I think not. Who’s homes are you… Read more »
Really!!! The show was awesome!! I cant believe this!! So upset right now:(
Just watched the entire Season on Netflix and its a shame there will not be a second one. Even if NBC cancelled it would be nice to see Netflix pick up the 2nd season where it left off. Wish I would have known.
This show is friggin awesome!!!!! WTH nbc why’d you guys cancel this Show!!??!! The story was great the actors were on point why cancel it???? I really hope that Netflix brings it back. I mean this show really draws you in it has it all please please please bring it back!!!
Just finished season 1 on Netflix, really sad that there isnt a season 2. Im disappointed in NBC for not advertising this show more if i had known about it i would have watched it before. the way they ended it was terrible how you just leave it without at least an episode of closure, at least the would have sufficed.
I have just watched a show on Netflix I’ve never heard of it before I like to show very much apparently NBC didn’t do enough to advertise it and it was a terrible way to end the show at least you should have a one hour special tying everything together
We loved this show and the ending was awful . I don’t understand why it was cancelled. Please return with season 2.
