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?
why cancel something that great I would like to know the reasons
I don’t think NBC has very good people who check to see what viewers
want.
Watched on Netflix and loved it. I would love to see it picked up by another station like TNT.
I love the show. I would definitely continue to watch it. Maybe Netflix can continue it.
Great cast and stories. Keeps you interested.
Taxi Brooklyn is a cool show.I liked the movie taxi and really enjoy Taxi Brooklyn. I would like to see a season two.
I personally Loved the show. I don’t know how I missed it on TV, watched 1st season on Netflix. Don’t think the show was publized enough or something. Poor decision on NBC’s part. It was a GREAT show fresh & new, not the same cookiecutter of all the other shows. The characters & actors were a good dynamic, good storyline. So my question to NBC is what more could you want????? You had makings of a great HIT. My suggestion is to FIRE your publicist!!!!!
I LOVE THIS SHOW IT WAS FUNNY SAD THERE WAS SUSPENSE…the actors are AMAZING… I cannot afford cable so I watched it on Netflix I was really looking forward to a another season…. I hate it when networks cancel good shows….
Yes it really good!
I am very disappointed that this show is cancelled. It is an excellent show! Hope one of the networks will reconsider and have more seasons, PLEASE.
Love this show!!!
Taxi Brooklyn is very good. Love Leo’s character. I think they have a pretty strong cast. Just watched the season on Netflix. Very enjoyable. Different from other cop shows.
SEASON 2
maybe the people doing the ratings are smoking something ,
or maybe it was not advertised enough to get peoples attention,
either way it was one of the best shows for years……
NBC should be cancelled
It’s very good and it should carry on
It amazes me how there are no new movies that have original stories, they are all copy;s of comics etc, with millions spent in special effects,
then an awesome series comes out and they cancel the second season,
nbc should be ashamed ………. the least they can do is create a finale to close the series
the cast should quit and follow up with the competition
NBC SUCKS
It’s ridiculous how they left it off the way they did, just to not make a second season? ********, I must say. I was sad that the season had ended on netflix, and I got on here to see if I could find anything about season 2… Just to see this, it makes me upset. Someone else should definitely pick it up, best show I’ve seen in ages.
Watched it on Netflix,loved it. Who watches network TV anymore? Please , somebody pick it up.
Please continue season 2, I like this TV series
