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?
My husband and I both loved the show. Recently watched it on Netflix. Very disappointed when we heard there would be no season 2.
Netflix could make a killing just by picking up shows that major networks cancel! This show is great! NBC had canceled Harry’s Law which I would like Netflix to run.
I enjoyed TaxiBrooklyn season 1 a lot. Season one only got it started it was building up to something. I would like to see you continuing to season two so The cliffhangers can be solved.! So it’s not a full season to that at least enough episode to clean it up. Who knows just enough episodes to clean up the cliffhangers could, in fact, bring about enough support and ratings to make it worthwhile to keep around even longer.

WTF X 10
What kinda BS is that to leave a show on a cliffhanger like that ?? I don’t mind waiting for a new season or time to release from network but this really pisses me off!!
Wouldn’t have wasted all that time if I knew this!!!
Please bring this show back! I saw the whole season last year and I am watching it again on Netflix. Why don’t they give new shows a chance to become more popular? I think it should be aired on another station. I love this show so much! Very disappointed it is not going to air again.
My husband just turned me on to this show. It’s got some issues to get over, some delayed reactions, and some cheesy acting at times, in the beginning, but you can always tell where they are going with it, and it works anyway. We love it! And to see Little Grey again!… We spent the first half of the season, going WHO is that? We knew we knew her! Had to look it up today. As soon as I saw a pic of her with longer hair, I knew right away who she was. Luckily we still have a few… Read more »
me nd my boyfriend just got done looking at this show why it cant and like this wow its geting good…
found taxi Brooklyn on netflix absolutely love it told everyone I knew to watch it only to find out the show was cancelled.I don’t think it was well promoted didn’t even know it was on television .would be great if the show returned even if only as a Netflix original series…
Just finished watchimg on Netflix. I really enjoyed the 1season. I hope there is 2nd season, they left us hanging, Netflix should pick it up.
I’m pissed off that this show ended! The show, story line and characters are fun and serious. I love the story lines! You can’t have it end like this…
I just finished the season on Netflix and loved it! I looked online to find out how long I’d have to wait for season two and sadly ended up here. I agree, a season is not enough to determine a show’s longevity. I’m certainly hooked. Please bring season two. I’m dying to know what happens next!
Totally agree. The writing and chemistry between the actors is fantastic.
I just found this on netflix and love the characters. Have no idea what it was up against on NBC so it didnt draw the viewer. Someone else should definitely bring it back for a 2nd season. Please.
I just read that this show was cancelled….wow the networks won’t give shows time to establish themselves. Everything is so quick fast, make a buck, rush it mentality. How about letting things marinate a bit and see what happens…..Oh well…..had to get that off my chest.
Ditto:
I am so mad that this show ended! I love the show, story line and characters! Why would Netflix make it available when the show has been cancelled. Such a tease! Please bring this show back. You can tell it’s a classic show if the network only gave it a chance!
!!!
PLEASE GIVE US A SECOND SEASON! IT CANNOT END LIKE THIS!!!!!!
MY FIANCE AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SHOW!
