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?
Very disappointed show cancelled it was one of the best shoes on Netflix. Please bring it back.

DTaxi Brooklyn last show episode was the best and left use hanging in the air. Boo to NBC
Please return with season 2 I really enjoy the show
A very good show .Very funny and endearing until the ******* writers desired to make a high action murder drama out of it in the eighth and blew the whole thing. Too bad but happent all the time when you switch horses in mid stream. You loose the audience.
Bring it back!!!! Whatever channel just bring it back!! I need to know what happens next!!!!!!
Please please bring it back. It was a good show
I hope it will come back on any channel. I will surely watch it. Please bring back even if only on netflix.
I´ll watch whatever channel will show

There has to be another season. You seriously can’t just leave it that way. Supergirl is a decent show but this was WAY better.
