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?
Writing was getting better. If it is not renewed there should at least be a final episode!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another season please.
Great show. Watched it on Netflix and would love a second season! Can’t believe they canceled it!
Good show, too bad they canceled it.
Me and my husband watched it on netflix and lived it!!!!! BRING ON A SEASON 2
Just watched the last episode. Can’t believe there isn’t a season 2. We are very upset.
With a great plot, brilliant characters and really great actors why not???
I loved “Taxi Brooklyn” and was looking forward to another season.I am very disappointed the show is not coming back.
Omg! We love this show! No season 2?! How can that be possible? Love the cast, story line…and the season finale- it was sooooo intense, and we HAVE to find out what happens next!
Please somebody do a season 2 of Taxi Brooklyn.
Great actors, suspense, comedy, exciting. Watched it on Netflix. Biggest cliff hanger at the end of season 1. Why did they cancelled it? Not happy with you NBC. :0 (
This was excellent I would watch a second season
I and my 12 year old daughter loves this show! Acting is good especially taxi driver! We would definitely watch on another network!
Just watched all of season 1 of Taxi Brooklyn on Netflix today and loved it then I find out there is not going to be a season 2 what is up with these networks that can’t be patient enough to see that people do enjoy watching series before they just take them off the air and not even end them right at least finish the shows right and with a good ending instead of keeping you in suspense and your not going to make another my whole day was just wasted to find this out well NBC hopefully someone else… Read more »
I loved the show too. It was different from the usual stereotypical police shows that are on, and I really liked the characters. Sad nothing but cookie cutter crap can survive.
great show give it to an independant, not the first time NBC dropped the ball !!!! it’s the network nobody wants to watch not the show.
Saw it on Netflix and really liked it. Too bad there won’t be a season 2. There is nice chemistry between everyone. Loved that it wasn’t gorey like lots of shows.
