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?

Totally gutted to see that there won’t be another season, me and my 11yr old son loved this, please do another season
I loved Taxi Brooklyn. I just found it on Netflix!!! I watched all 12 Episodes in 2 days…Im Brutally Bummed because it was a Great Series & Ended with unanswered questions & suspense… PLEASE BRING IT BACK WITH A SECOND SEASON… IM SO MAD WITH NBC
Bring it back, just found on Netflix also
I really enjoyed Taxi Brooklyn and I’m disappointed there is not another season. I just watched on Netflix and found out that there is not going to be a second season. I’m really bummed because I got into the series and then it ended with so may unanswered questions. I hope the network will reconsider bringing it back.
I am the biggest fan of the Taxi Brooklyn tv show, please bring Taxi Brooklyn back nexflix please, Amanda Jo Pearson
A real let down to stop this semi comedy series at a point where everyone is in chaos. What were you thinking NBC? I like short series but to leave everything hanging like this was a miserable end.
it was a great show, some brilliant acting by everyone. leaving a series in suspense is noy a good thing.
so, i really wish there is a second season. waiting eagerly!!!!
Taxi Brooklyn was a good series! Part comedy part crime drama. It is a disappointment to build all the story lines to such a fever pitch and then leave all the show’s viewers and fans hanging indefinitely. What a way to finish what you started … bad form NBC
Great show ! Just recently found it. Bummer you canceled it☹️ Finally an entertaining show and it’s canceled.
Great show. Hate there was only 1 season
Yes,it should have a second season. I live this show, it’s kinda a comedy/drama police show which I love this kind. Everyone did a superb acting job in this show. Unfortunately I am older that what tv companies such as NBC use to decide the
life of a tv show m, In my opinion this is very prejudice and us, older ones probably watch more tv than their age range!!
yes they should have many more seasons to this movie
yes they should be a 2nd season and many more..it has a good plot that can go a long ways.
I don’t understand why …no season 2. Good characters, good story line.Sad.
I cannot believe that there is no second season to taxi brooklin. Just when you find something you really like, it’s gone.
YO ID LIKE TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO THE MENTALLY CHALLENGED AT NBC FOR NOT RENEWING THIS SHOW . I THOUGHT IT WAS A HIT AND MOST LIKELY OTHERS ARE AS DISGUSTED WITH NBC AS I AM FOR CANCELLING. SERIOUSLY DIDN’T YOUR ******* PARENTS TEACH YOU TO FINISH WHAT YOU STARTED BECAUSE YOU DON’T LEAVE A SHOW THE WAY THAT ONE ENDED. THE LADIES MOM DIED,DUDES KID GOT KIDNAPPED AND SO MANY MORE UNANSWERED AND UNFULFILLED STORY-LINE. YO IF YOU FUCKTARDS HAVE SEX THE WAY YOU PRESENT TV SHOWS YOUR WIVES PROBABLY BANGING THE MAIL MAN CAUSE YOU CAN’T… Read more »
Ughhh all the good shows are being cancelled. That’s why I hardly watch tv & probably a lot of viewers too.
