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?
We would like another season of taxi brooklyn
This show is awesome in my opinion. My wife and I found it on Netflix. The show wasn’t given a chance. Maybe it was shown on a night and time where other show were competing with Taxi Brooklyn. Maybe it should be a Netflix show.
Yea maybe it could become a netflix original, because I want a season 2!
I can’t believe they have cancelled the best and funniest show on T.V. I have been waiting for the season 2 and could not believe what I just read…. I am so mad at NBC for cancelling this show. They have crap shows on and then the best show they have Aired has been taken off…
I WANT TO SEE A SEASON TWO OF TAXI BROOKLYN….VERY GOOD SHOW N VERY ENTERTAINING….I ENJOYED IT VERY MUCH….PLEASE BRING ON A SEASON TWO WITH THE SAME CHARACTERS THEY R WONDERFUL….THANK U SO MUCH
It’s a great show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bring on season 2.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The critics are stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My husband just wrote you, i agree; and so does my entire family. This show was more than good and very entertaining, It should be renewed. to leave it at 12 episodes was an ugly way end the series.
this show should go on at least finish what they started.
What and leave us hanging thats not cool. Love Kat and Leo. give it to netflix. NBC get rid of all those awful reality shows enough is enough
Absolutely should be renewed.
The show is great. It’s irritating knowing there won’t be a season two. Please please try again , this show gives me life. I don’t care about anything else. I will watch the show
VERY disappointed that this show was cancelled. My feelings? I don’t need to watch NBC any further… 🙁
I liked the show they should have at least finished the story does Gregg die is cat’s mother dead what happens to Leo family and what happens to Ronnie is cat going to jail what HAPPENS!!!!
Give it to Netflix!!!
I don’t understand….this is a very cool TV show. But just like Chicago Code it’s not going to have a 2nd season. It’s a shame….our audience give high rates to trash like some reality and celebrity shows. It should go on
I agree…maybe Netflix can take over for a finish in another season
I just finished watching the first season of taxi Brooklyn. I found the relationship between cat and Leo fun to watch and was looking forward to a second season. I’m very disappointed to hear that a second season will not occur. I would definitely watch this if another station picked it up.
