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?
Please continue the second season of “Taxi Brooklyn” as it is not only a good viewing experience but offers a different approach to Cop/Crime shows. Following a detective and her cab driver friend throughout the different episodes is quite an adventure and offers a new perspective on crime, personal situations within the police station and outside the work place.
Please reconsider and offer a second season of this show. Thank you.
just finished watching series 1 and totally hooked.
there should be a series 2, it is brilliant.
CW should pick it up and do season 2
I just watched Taxi Brooklyn on Netflix I watched the whole season in one sitting. I can’t believe that the show was canceled. Too bad. I had never heard about the show. Too bad they had poor marketing.
I hope they changed their mind.
Series one was great and what an ending. We need to know what happens to all the characters! There really should be some kind of law put in place that if a series won’t be renewed at least just give us one episode to conclude that season. It’s such a pain….. Do series Two i’ll donate….
I would LOVE to see this show continue. It has everything! Great acting, fantastic storyline. Really keepscyhe viewer engaged.
I love thisshow. I hate it will no longer be on.
This show was great! I just watched it on Netflix and wish they hadn’t cancelled it for a second season. Maybe Netflix will pick it up on there.
So sad. A terrible way to end. Needs resolution. Should not have been cancelled. I would watch it on any channel.
Very disappointed that this is cancelled. I really was in to the first season and it ended leaving us hanging. I think it should get another chance to be viewed. Beats most the stuff they are showing now days ughhh!!
I agree
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE TACI IN BROKLYN CONTINUE. I GIVE IT 5 STARS
I enjoyed this series, very disappointed that there will not be season 2 especially as the story was getting more intriguing. Loads of ways this could have been developed. Really hate it when series get dropped and left on such a high,. Would definitely like to see another series
same here
This is an awesome show. Great story line, good actors, a mix of comedy, drama, and action. There should be a season 2.
Give the show a chance.
Yes, I would like to see it return.
I loved this show. Watched it over and over Netflix. There were so many conflicts in Cat’s relationships it was very entertaining. I didn’t even recognize Chyler from Grey’s Anatomy. Love her and Jacky Ido. They are a great pair. Want to see more.
