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’m so disappointed! They left us hanging. Loved the show.
Great show a least they could have made an ending
It’s a great shame it was cancelled because this show was just amazing. I would of watch many more seasons.
I liked the show they have quite a cliff hanger now I won’t k ow what happens I would watch a second season
I want Season 2!!!!!!
I just finished season 1 on Netflix and can’t believe I will never know what happens next. Ouch!!!! I loved this show.
Watched this on NetFlix and thoroughly enjoyed it, great cast, story lines were always interesting – damn shame it did not get a second season 🙁
I loved the show. The players had great chemistry. I’m so sorry there is no second season!
I love this show. The players had real chemistry. I’m so sorry it was canceled!
What a great show. Very disappointed the show was cancelled.
Brooklyn Taxi was a great show very disappointed in NBC for not continuing with future series left us all hanging. Bring it back!!!!!!!!
I love this series! I really hope they at least bring it back straight to Netflix.
How can they possibly axe such a great series I have been hooked on it, for it to end on such a cliff hanger, leave people wanting more, then to read no season 2 .
PS seriously this is so screwed up it’s like reading a book and The last few pages are missing. I hope who ever is in control of this fixes this, so we The little people get to see another series.
Signed a very unhappy Netflix viewer.
Unbelievable, they always do that. They hook you with a great show then they discontinue it. This will be a sleeper. People will catch on and love it.
To whom it may concern at NBC, a second season is a must. Please don’t leave us hanging
I just finished watching the show on Netflix and it was super good am sad to read that maybe there will not be a second season of taxy broklin. I was hoping to see season two of the show since it ended with so much drama and suspense that now i want to know more of the show. NBC people, pleaseeeee renew the show and bring season two to the TV ot at list make it a Netflix show like the fuller house.
I really liked the show and would like to see more. The end was sad and wish it had a happier ending
