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 like the show and would like to see a second season. Pity that the networks are more interested in showing crap realty shows or infomercials and not offering good tv shows.
i Love Taxi Brooklyn. Hope season 2 is possible some how.
Just found it on Netflix & am really enjoying it! Why not more?
I thought Taxi Brookline was inventive and fresh. my wife and I hope to see a second series on Netflix.
This show deserves a 2nd season. I was already a fan of the French movies franchise TAXI and found Taxi Brooklyn on Netflix. If no one wants to take on season 2 on TV, then Nextflix should take the rights and do it.
“Taxi Brooklyn” is a very good program. I love the actors in this program and the actress that plays Cat, but if you have to replace her, other shows have done this before. You cannot keep discontinuing programs that are decent shows and expect people to be able to depend on you as a Network. You have to be continuous. I have stopped watching CBS, NBC and ABC as tv Networks because they are continually leaving you hanging. I have gone to NETFLIX because at least there I can tell if a program will be discontinued and it will be… Read more »
Its a great show…I need to know what happens!!!!!
They should make another this show is good and hilarious specially leo lmao
I was really looking forward to the next season .
I enjoyed this story line. VERY disappointed if this is the end of it.
come on!! found this show on Netflix. Just finished watching all 12 episodes. Are you really going to leave us hanging not knowing the fate of Leo’s family? If so’ wished I had never watched it. You people who produce these shows should at least end the season without cliff hangers. But hey NBC, this isn’t the first time you got me. I’m done.
How did I miss this, I loved this show! Just watched all the episodes on Netflix. Great show. Please bring it back. Maybe Netflix should pick it up.
Pls renew for second season my husband and i loved the show
Taxi Brooklyn is one of the greatest shows I’ve seen. It’s unique, hilarious, well thought out, and just plain awesome. I would have watched it while it was on TV, but I never saw a commercial or ad for it, ever. I didn’t even know it existed until it came on Netflix. I feel it would have had a lot more viewers if it was advertised more.
I would really like to see a season 2. I thought the actors were great!
please at least let me know if she finds out who killed her father.
