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 loved Taxi Brooklyn cause it’s funny and my best friend likes
I just found this show by accident on Netflix and really loved it. It was funny and full of action. I wish that it would have had more seasons, but anytime I live something it has been cancelled.
Loved Taxi Brooklyn and its a shame that you took off the air! One show I came in from outside to watch with my husband.
I loved it. Please Bring Season 2 Please
The show was great and I was so excited to watch season 2. cant believe they canceled it.
this is a great series we want season two and BC you’re crazy!
this is a great series you’re crazy and cancel it!
Awesome TV show, but how can they leave it with such a massive cliff hanger??????
I really want someone else to pick up the show, even just to finish it properly.
Watch the program on Netflix and loved it was looking forward seeing season 2amrealy sorry that it won’t be comming back
This is so stupid! This is one of the best shows I’ve watched and you can’t just cancel it after that season finale of Season 1! This is a great show and it better be showing in the summer!
I thouroughly enjoyed taxibrooklyn it was a really good series ot anoys me when the people who make these series just decide to end the series just like that leaving it on a cliff hanger not happy
Watched on Netflix addictivley good
Amazon would be okay too
Ridiculous that I watched all that and the end just kills everyone! NBC probably just wants another retarded Reality show….maybe the Kardashains? I am totally ready to disconnect Comcast and toss my TV in the trash! Nothing but crap out there! Where’s in charge anyway? How do they know how many viewers there are? Disgusted. Of course I wopuld watch another season of Taxi brooklyn!
