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 should bring Taxi Brooklyn back for a season 2 season 1 was good but the ending did not do it justice because what happens to romba family and Ronnie and Kat season 2 I believe would be even better than season 1
I loved the show!! It had suspense an drama
Loved the story plot!! Want to see more please!!
Great show. Come on NBC make season two.
Absolutely fabulous show. Ticks all the right boxes resulting in a thoroughly awesome watch. When you think of all the other rubbish that is shown on TV, I can’t figure out why this series has been axed. NBC obviously don’t know a good thing when it is staring them right in the face!! Come on NBC – do us all a favour and get this cast back together for a further series.
Just found it on Netflix… and I must say this is a GREAT show. Please, please, PLEASE, bring it back for at least one more season(or two, or three, or more), at least to clear up the fatal ending S1 E12. I personally want to know what happened to Niko and his mom, Ronnie, and Cat’s mom!! PLEASE.
Me too. I literally just finished it and got disappointed when I googled and found out there is no season 2. Please bring it back.
Hell ya I would have watched – you blow us off the seat and drop the audience like trash
shame on the network -what so we can watch more reality tv – some of us have a life and are bored to tears that others must get off watching sad people live out their live on tv
also found it on Netflix. I couldn’t stop watching. Please bring on a second season ASAP.
I also found it on Netflix and cant believe there was not another season to watch. Please bring on season 2.
I also found it on Netflix. I couldn’t stop watching. Please bring on a second season.
It’s a great show! Witty and funny as well as full of action! I really hope they’ll reconsider and continue with season 2!!!
I just found this show on Netflix and cannot believe there is only one season!! How did it not last longer then that!?? Great show i really hope it can make a come back! How do you end a season on such a cliffhanger and not have another season?
Great show, probably started at a bad time, try another season, I’m sure the ratings would soar. Sometimes people don’t see shows till they show up on Netflix.
I loved it and my husband did too. Maybe it was a bad time, so a second season and I’m sure the ratings will go up! It’s really a great show.
Please bring back, love this show
Please bring this show back, its awesome!!!
NBC sucks as bad as the rest of you Hollywood clowns. Draggin us all along to a finished unfinished season!
