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?
Netflix please pick this up and make a series out of it. I loved it, and the acting and story line were excellent.
chill i watched the whole season in 2 days its an absolute grate show. It must continue all my friends are watching it now aswell. Leo and Cat make a great team. I really want to watch it there must be a second season
My husband and I just finished watching Taxi Brooklyn season and we loved it! We are very disappointed that there is no season 2. NBC needs to give us a season 2 !
Man, I loved this show. I binged watched it on Netflix. Season Finale left us hanging… PLEASE make another season !!
Yeahhhh me 2…just finished watching with my hubby…we need 2 see what happens pleaseeee
I would pay to watch a wrap up
You can’t leave a show hanging like that. At least wrap it up
I do not know how the ratings could be bad unless NBC overlooks the population that streams and/or DVR’s shows. I rarely watch anything that is being broadcast during it’s actual time. As for Taxi Brooklyn, the acting and casting was superb. Beauty and the Beast has 2 seasons and the acting and writing is no where near as good. As was already stated, Netflix or other streaming service should pick this show up. I would definitely continue watching these characters.
Me and my family watched the entire first season of this show. We all loved it. When we saw this artical the rating that were stated in this artical seem surprisingly low. The fact that this show was started and got that any people attention is one thing for the television. It’s another thing for Netflix. Just re-watched the last season on Netflix, I really hoped with as hooking of an ending it had, it should have came back. It is a disappointment that the show was cancelled. I hope they re-evaluate this.
I am very disappointed that NBC cancelled Taxi Brooklyn . I watched the entire 1st season on Netflix and I was looking forward to a 2nd season. Great cast and story line. What a shame!
Once again the powers that be make me glad that I don’t have a television. They show trash like Duck Dynasty, the Bachelor, the Great Race, and other so called “reality shows that have little or no story and no entertainment value. Then they take a good entertaining show like Taxi Brooklyn and trash it. Thank you BBC for your great shows that wrap up and never leave you hanging with season finales that are suppose to entice you back and then never catty through
PLEASEEEEEEEEEEE Netflix pick it upppppppp….just binge watch it with my hubby and we loved it and also can’t bare the idea of not knowing what happens with Cat & everyone else
I agree with all comments, it was a mistake to cancel this. If Chyler becomes available, Netflix should pick up the option and make season 2
I just found the show on Netflix. Watched the entire season in a day and loved it. Can see the connection with the movie “TAXI”. I think dropping the series is very ignorant of the prodducers, and or , network.
i miss the show so much! I have been wondering why I haven’t seen an commercial about the second season, I now know why.
Miss this show so much. Casting perfect! Delightful entertainment
Our family became big fans if Taxi Brooklyn, and were hoping for a second season. We definitely would watch it and urge our friends to watch it.
