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? I found Taxi Brooklyn to be a fantastic television show it made you laugh and just entrained you. There are not enough shows like it. CBS now has Battle Creek NBC needs to bring Taxi Brooklyn back. There are not enough Police / Comedy type dramas I for one am tired of some of the junk that passes for entertainment. Taxi Brooklyn & Battle Creek are brilliant NBC please reconsider…
I just finished watching the last episode and damn, i freaking loved it! Sadly i wont find out what happens after **** hitting the fan like that :/ Goodbye Taxi Brooklyn, was nice knowing you.
We loved this show and are very disappointed that it has been cancelled. This show a good potential and should have been renewed for a second season. So much junk on tv hopefully NBC has something decent to replace it.
I loved the show and have been waiting patiently for it’s return after the cliff-hanger ending to season 1. I am so disappointed with NBC’s decision to cancel a great show that was both entertaining and a “thinker”. I am also not impressed with some of the shows they have decided to renew and will be viewing better shows offered by other networks.
Lllooovvveee it! Bring it back!
I really enjoyed this show. It was one of the best shows during the summer.
I liked this show. It a good show to watch for summer. Would like to see it again. Why cancel it? Funny and action. I would see it on a different station such as abc or even hbo if nbc drops it. Although it shouldnt
I liked this show. It a good show to watch for summer. Would like to see it again. Why cancel it? Funny and action.
I loved this show, can’t believe they keep cancelling all these good shows and putting stupid reality shows everywhere
I loved this show.can’tbelieve it was cancelled after only a few episodes. Stupid!
I LOVED THIS SHOW!!! I’ve seen a lot of GARBAGE that the networks continue to support…I’m VERY DISAPPOINTED that this will not be renewed. I loved the chemistry between these two…PLEASE FIND ANOTHER OUTLET for this program!!!
C’MON NBC… PLEASE GIVE THIS SHOW ANOTHER CHANCE!!
I really looked forward to this show every week. It was a unique concept that the taxi was basically the police car. It definitely was a huge mistake to cancel the show. Now it left everyone hanging as to what happened to Cat’s ex after he was shot. I really hate when something shocking happens at the end of a season and then it’s not renewed and your invested in the characters and what happened to them. NBC BIG mistake!
One of the best shows i have ever watched. I want it back. I don’t watch this station but I did watch this show.
This is one of the best shows this network has shown in years. I looked forward to seeing it each week. It is a mistake not to bring it back. I think your survey was based on the wrong people.
I’m so upset this show was cancelled! They don’t even give shows a chance anymore!
Years ago they would give shows at least two seasons! It takes awhile for people to get into new shows! If shows were cancelled this fast years ago we wouldn’t have had Friends, Greys Anatomy, Castle, etc… All of these shows had low numbers their first seasons! Give shows a chance before replacing them with more crap reality TV!
I relly enjoyed the show and they cansel it when every one is in to it I had waited for season 2 a then in March I find out that there no season 2 I don’t trust NBC any more I bet if you watch the show you wouldn’t too.
I to love this show. I love the cast and the story line. I feel that NBC always act too fast in canceling shows. Please let’s have a second season.
