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?
We cannot believe it ended with such a critical scene! The characters were perfect in their roles. Such great entertainment. Boo to whoever cancelled this show! We are so disappointed, we want to cancel Netflx.
I can’t believe they cancelled Taxi Brooklyn with the way the 1st season ended. Thst is just WRONG ON SO MANY LEVELS!!!!
This brilliant series needs a season 2 at least. Fantastic show..
It’s a great show and would love the return of it with the same cast.
It’s a great show and would like the return of it with the same cast.
I would love Netflix to pick it up with same cast couldn’t believe it wasn’t coming back for a second season
Somehow this show was overlooked while it was airing. I very much like the chemistry between the cast. The plot line is clever. Would love another season if the original cast agreed to return. They make the show!
I just finished the series on Netflix and can’t believe it ended like this. I hope Netflix will reboot it. I’m sorry I didn’t get to Support it on NBC. It deserved to be continued. Hope Netflix will pick it up.
I definitely want to see how the series ends even it is only for one more short series. I like the dynamic between Cat and Leo.
Just binge watched on Netflix. Can’t believe the show ended with no closure as to what happened!!! Loved the show. I had not heard of the show until Netflix. If I had, I would have definitely watched it. I do like the no advertisements, though.
Me and my wife watch it on Netflix we loved it it’s sad to know that season 2 ain’t coming out. If it does come out we would definitely watch it.
Wow why would they leave it like this I need to know why happened
Just watched last episode of Season 1. They can’t end like That! I want more!!! Seriously if i had all the money in the world I’d fund this t.v. show. It was incredible and enjoyable! I loved It!
Loved season 1 , season 2 would be great
i like this show. love the cast. it would be great if you did the second season. I watch netflix and that”s where I found it. sorry couldn’t support it on the channel it was running on.
