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?

Yes I want to see taxi Brooklyn return love the show I would keep watching it even on another channel.
Taxi Brooklyn was an entertaining, and interesting show. Great cast and excellent writers. I have missed it as well as my family. We are presently watching it again on Netflix.

I just googled this show to see when it is starting this summer. It was one of my favorite shows last summer. Very entertaining, held my attention, and I like the actors. That’s all I ask for. Give it a chance to catch on!!!
Moderators – Is there any evidence that Antoine from NBC (or Netflix, or any other media outlet) reads this site and would see all of the positive comments from people wanting to see this show continue? I can’t tell whether our comments here might actually serve any useful purpose beyond giving us a place to vent and commiserate and share our “passion” for this show with each other. I’m not saying that there isn’t value in that, I’m just wondering if there’s any, even slight, chance that it could actually have any effect on the fate of the show, as… Read more »
Sheesh -“Antoine” was meant to be “anyone” (darn that Swype!). Don’t known if there’s anyone named “Antoine” in a position of power over in the Programming department of NBC, lol!
I enjoyed the humour and lesser violence and sexual exploitation. Sorry its gone.
