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?
Really hoping someone picks this show up, I want to see more,
What??? This is a great show! You MUST do a season 2! Come on! The actors were great, the narrative tension was great, one was always left wanting more! Do not lead us into temptation, deliver us season 2! 🙂
It doesn’t makes sense for them to cancel Taxi Brooklyn with an ending like that. That just leave the audience clueless of what’s happening next. I was really looking forward to season 2. Maybe a different channel should take over because in my opinion not many people watch NBC.
Do you think it’ll come back. I am wondering? How are the shows that usually get canceled do. Do they come back or stay dead
I’m extremely disappointed that there isn’t going to be several more seasons of Taxi Brooklyn. I don’t have regular or cable TV so I didn’t see the show when it aired but I watched the season on NETFLIX and thoroughly enjoyed the show. I really got into the characters and when it ended the way it did, I was totally pissed. Maybe bring it back and tie up the loose ends.

I am going crazy here. I am watching Netflix, try out this show, get hooked and almost watch all of the episodes non-stop. I immediately go online to check out how to see the second season and find out NO second season. This cannot be. This one of the best written, best cast, most talented group of actors for a series that I have seen in a while. Somebody do something please.
I have to agree with a great show.
I did that same thing. They can’t leave us hangin like that.
I’m very disappointed that Taxi Brooklyn has been cancelled. The networks never give shows a chance anymore. They concentrate on horrific Reality shows instead of good quality shows.
I was able to watch Taxi Brooklyn on Netflix, yesterday. I loved it. I was hooked only to find that it has been cancelled. What a cliffhanger- was the last episode that aired! Now, I am beside myself wondering what the resolve would have been if the next season would have returned.
I gave it a five stars, I would not like to see it cancelled.
U have a hug clif hanger that would leave anybody wishing for more. Thats just not nice. Make me afraid to check out any new shows you put out there cause u will kill it just when its getting good.

After watcher this it got really good, but then when I search when it is coming back, I saw that is going to be cancelled.
This show is amazing. One of my favorites. I’ve watched season 1 over and over. The cast is amazing and this show really needs a second season
Please bring it back. I found it on Netflix bc I have work the days it airs , I missed one episode so Iccouldn’t watch it until it came on Netflix but this is one of favorites shows. Its interesting there cliffhangers to where you need to know what happens, so please bring it back,do not cancel .
#renew for season 2.
Totally bummed to hear no 2nd season. NBC are clueless, that season finale was a 10/10 and like everyone I desperately want a second season. Hopefully someone does something about this, please!
We love this show – and sad to hear it’s going …. So …Netflix – EuropaCorp, Somebody – pick this show up – it is well written, has good story development , and the actors fit their parts to a T – what’s not to like?!
What’s nbc going to do? replace it with another fake reality show? Boo.hiss – nbc!
Loved episode 12! I want to see where the story goes from the brink of despair! Season 2! Season 2! Season 2!
