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 enjoyed the series very much and I was looking forward to season 2. Netflix, please pick up this show! I believe it is one of the best cop shows I’ve seen and I’ve seen a lot of them.
Why do idiots at NBC take a good show like Taxi Brooklyn off the air when it was such an enjoyable series too watch in like some of the stuff you have I hardly ever look at network TV except for shows as entertaining as Taxi Brooklyn
I love this show. I wasn’t aware of it due to no cable service. Netflix has the run of the show & it’s awesome!! It ended with Cat’s mother being blown up on the fairy boat, her ex husband taking a bullet in the chest, most likely to die. Her friend, “the cabbie”- his son & ex wife kidnapped by the mob. Cat’s childhood friend is the front person of the mob. All of it is payback! We want another season!!!
I agree fully – please NetFlix start filming season two. One of the best cop shows have watched. Never knew this was on TV.
I just watched this series on Netflix – I love it it – I want more –
Series two – it’s awesome – I am from
Melbourne, Australia.
TAXI BROOKLYN SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN CANCELLED!!!!!! I just saw season 1 on netflix and it was bettr than almost any other cop-type show out there!! Even if the Cat actor went to another show (and why did she do that? Did she not get paid as she should have for Taxi Brooklyn?) this show had a lot of things going on – a lot of interesting sub stories that could easily have continued with out her. She was not the most interesting character – why did the network or producers or whoever decides this stuf not se this!!!!!! It… Read more »
Just finished season one and to be honest you cannot leave it like that. I loved the show. I really hope season 2 does happen.
Just finished watching season 1 loved it . …Disappointed about the cancelled season two. Would love to be able to see a season 2 . Wish it be picked up by another network.
wish netflix would pick up the show and make season 2!
I just finished season 1 and there has to be a season 2, 3,4, this show is awesome!
Just finished watching season 1 loved it . Disappointed about the cancelled season two. Would love to be able to see a season 2 . Wish it be picked up by another network.
I just finished season 1. I’m so disappointed that there isn’t a season 2! It can’t just end like this
I like others, just finished the Netflix Season 1 of ” Taxi Brooklyn” and the ending was a huge Cliffhanger. Loved both lead actors and cannot believe NBC didn’t give this show a chance.
Netflix should pick up this show and give it a 2nd season and a proper ending. I have seen so many shows that aren’t given a season to properly end it and it’s getting frustrating to invest time into a show only to find, it doesn’t end and keeps the viewer hanging.
I just finished the first season very good especially the last episode… Very unhappy niw because no season 2 I WANT A SEASON 2 i would watch it….. Good show make more season
My husband and I just finished watching on Netflix and this series is so good. We were sD to learn there is no second season. Maybe Netflix will pick it up and continue the series like they have with other shows such as Longmire
Just finished watching on netflix very unhappy loved the show and would watch another season
I am so UNHAPPY to here this NBC!
The writers for this show were sooo good!! We watch 1-2 episodes a night! Finally a cop show that isn’t predictable. Boo for NBC cancelling this!! I want a season 2! Love the chemistry between them. And to leave it hanging like that is dumb!! Love this series!!
My wife and I agree with you, about the chemistry and the clever not-so-predictable story lines.
Ouch terrible way to end. Give us some closure
