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?
i just watch the entire season one in one day on Netflix . Awesome show. I can’t believe it is cancelled. We want to know what happens. Love the show. Bring it back.
My husband and I really enjoyed watching this show because we really got into it!!! We enjoyed spending time with each other along with great laughter from Taxi Brooklyn
This is an awesome show. Can’t believe that it won’t be back. I didn’t even know it was on TV. I think it was on Wensday nights and I go to church so I have watched it on Netflix. Loved it.
it was a good show, & disappointing to find they may not do a 2nd season….it’s certainly much better than a lot of the other “junk” (reality shows) that’s out here…
I want another season
Season Two? I’m ready for season Three!
I would definitely like to see a season two. Come on Netflix perhaps you can take it over
Netflix should pick it up! I loved this show.
I think this was a terrific show. I am really upset that it was cancelled. I wish Netflix would take over and give us another season. Why do they cancel the really good shows and keep on the stupid reality shows. Especially the Bachelor and Bachelorette. All that is fake. Maybe two people have actually gotten married and stayed together. NBC didn’t do enough promotion for this show. I guess that’s enough because no matter what I say, it probably will stay cancelled.
Please! Someone pick up Taxi Brooklyn so we can find out what happens to Cat, her mother and the rest. Was Cat’s dad really dirty or was that a ruse. Help!
I enjoyed the first season and certainly would watch more episodes where ever I could.
Can’t believe it, we r gutted, we loved the show, such a great idea, and full of excitement and light humor, the cliffhanger was amazing, and it’s killing us not knowing what all the outcomes were, please, please, please make series 2
Cat was previously on Grey’s Anatomy so I was excited to see her new role. The show is full of action, comedy and drama. It’s gteat! I would really like to see the outcome as the finale left a lot of unanswered questions.
WE NEED TO WRITE A PETITION TO MAKE THIS A NETFLIX SHOW. WHO IS WITH ME?
Yes we shall all write a petition I support you
I absolutely love the show, and I am incredibly disappointed that there will be no season 2. No one should ever leave anything on a cliff hanger.
