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?
Like really how in the world are you gonna make a second season and cancel the TV show, and ends it like that!! After I finished watching it on Netflix I was dying to see the second season!! It’s so much to have in the second season because of how the 1st season ended. Definitely a jaw dropper. So I really encourage NBC to make a second season. I really wanna know what happens to Leo and his family and especially Cat. So PLEASE PLAESE PLEASE!!
I liked the show, NBC should have finished the story line,if they were not going to continue with another season. very irresponsible,
Please bring this tv show back. I just binged watched it on Netflix and it is exciting and great, I need to know what happened to Cat”s mom & husband, Leo”s son and Ronnie.
I do hope that someone breathes life into the show. I personally thought that it was well acted, a little quirky but very entertaining. I am beginning to believe that what some think passes for entertainment these days doesn’t require good acting or presentation just a large helping of bizzaro.
In my entire life watching tv and I’m 63 years old. Have I ever seen such a miss justice. This show is one of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time. They at least could have come up with a better finale. What happened to Leo’s family we’ll never know. NBC sucks. The rating system needs to be revised because I can’t believe this show got such low ratings. There are shows that been on for 14-15 seasons that can’t touch this show. I am truly upset.
Just finished watching entire season on Netflix, enjoyed it very much had never heard of it found it browsing through movies. Perhaps there was not enough promotion of show? Let’s have a season two, don’t just leave us hanging, don’t cancel it!
My wife and I just watch the whole 2014 season on Netflix and were sooooooooo disappointed to find it was cancelled. I hope someone else picks it up.
Great show…please bring it back. You can’t leave us hanging with a season finale like season 1 had…there has to be a season 2.
Great show…Bring it back you can’t leave us hanging. We need to know what happens next…is Kats mom alive?
Bring it back!!! Great show!

My mom and I just finish Season 1 on Netflix and it was great there needs to be a season 2.
I just finished season 1 on Netflix and fell in love with the show, there wasn’t all the language that is in other shows. It was decent and my whole family had a show they could actually watch together.
