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?
Cancel if you must but at least give us closure with one more episode. Very disappointed you NBC.
This is a great show, and after the way season 1 ended I’m dying to see season 2. Someone has to find a way to make this happen!
This a very good show I don’t know why it was cancelled but it needs a season 2 Asap.
Why did this show get taken off it is so goof and now it’s on Nexflix and there is no reason 2 to find out what’s happens to Loe”s son and ex-wife as well as Cat’s mother. Some body needs to produce a season 2 and continue this show. I don’t understand why shows never stay on NBC. It seems no one watches thus channel. Somebody please pick this show up anf continue it. I’m not the only one who wants its return.
this show is so good. i am addicted. there should be a season 2!!!
This is a great show! WTF?!
I just watched the whole season on Netflix and i am angry that there is not another season. Make another season this show was really good and they way it ended it needs another season. Maybe if you guys recap a little of the show and promote it more you can get more views. I wish I would have seen this show when it debuted.
PLEASE MAKE A SEASON 2!!!!! Please!!!!!!!!!
So bummed that this show isn’t going to have a 2nd season! Please reconsider
So bummed! Loved this show please bring it back for a second seasoseason
I just seen the entire first season of taxi brooklyn i loved it and its sad that there wont be a second season i mean if you look at the last episode which is episode 12 leo son and his ex wife was kidnapped while cat was in the middle of an op to capture her fathers killer like really that cant be the ending finale of taxi brookly i really hope they start with season 2
Show some commercials on it, put some trailers on f.b. or Netflix
We really liked it. We came up on it by accident in Netflix. We thought it was about taxi drivers in Brooklyn. Bring it back and changed the name.
This was a great series and should be continued…what is wrong with the idiots at NBC?
What’s going on nbc
You’s all should be ashamed by the ending of this fabulous show
I just seen it on Netflix
How come this show wasn’t more advertised
I would of watched it the day it come out
I am waiting and hoping for season 2
Just saw S1 on Netflix…. Unbelievable it was cancelled…. Loved the cast … The Storyline… Cat & Leo’s relationship working cases was predictable much of the time .not knowing when an exciting twist would occur kept me watching…episode after episode.
I love Taxi Brooklyn it was a great show. Please we waiting for tge second season.
