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’d have watched a 2nd season maybe a not a 3rd
I really liked the chemistry between Cat and Leo, I would love to watch a second season.
Yes I would definitely watch the second and third season if it comes out. excellent t v show
most certainly would watch more of this show. I’m watching Season One, now, on Netflix, and didn’t want it to end! Do so hope this show gets picked up. Some of the acting is cheesy, for sure. I’ve had some great LOL moments also. Good show, will look for the actors elsewhere, but would sure love to see them all back here in Taxi Brooklyn.
This sucks I love the show I hope someone picks this up
I would definitely look at the show on another channel. All the good shows are being taken off the air. Possibly NetFlix or Hulu can pick this up
They need to have more than one season of this show
Wow I liked this show Taxi Brooklyn!! And no season 2 ?? Season 1 ended on a cliff hanger and ABC dumped it??? UGH I HATE that!
Lol Violet….it’s NBC….and yes what a way to leave a faithful audience hangin’ totally unacceptable!
Great show, I didn’t know about it until I saw it on netflix. After the last episode, I looked to see if it was on television and I was disappointed to hear that it may not be back next season. Certainly hope that some will pick it up and give it an opportunity to catch on.
Come on NBC–give the show another chance because it definitely got better with every episode!!! We watched Season #1 on Netflix and loved it. Perhaps Netflix should pick it up and produce it because NBC doesn’t seem to know how to advertise it.
I love this show! I wish NBC or another network would give it another shot. The chemistry between Cat & Leo is great with the right amount of comedic and serious dialogue! bring it back!!!!
Witty, creative, different – just needs time for folks to find it and they’ll be stuck like I am. Seems like all the good shows with any storyline and based in morality just can’t get a break. BIG loss!
I hope that there will be season 2 you cannot end a season with the way you did and not come back to continue NBC is a bunch of idiots to not take the time and money to invest in asecond and possibly third season look at the numbers go with the viewers and not Hollywood
Just finished watching it on Netflix. Great cast.. great show. Too bad it’s cancelled.
PLEASE bring it back!!! It’s SO good! Me and all my friends watch it and would definitely watch season 2!!!! Pretty pretty please! I would pay to watch this show. So good!
I really like the show please don’t let it have no ending for cat let her get revenge please please please bring it back
