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 have just finished watching this show on Netflix and I too along with everyone else loved it. I can’t believe yet another show I like has been cancelled and left with so many questions pending. Why do this to people it’s not right. I for one will check for a second season for any future new programmes as i’m sick of being left hanging not knowing if someone’s alive/dead in a coma or has disappeared it ruins my enjoyment of the shows.
Will a last wrap be released? Just to really get it done!
I just finished watching season1 of taxi brooklyn. I liked it so much that I googled the show only to find out there won’t be a second season? Tell NBC to take a hike and find another to take their place! I’ll watch it!
Bring it back. At least to resolve the Season 1 cliff hanger episode events.
I can’t believe they are not going to make a second season this show is great there action which I love. I want to see what happens next now, we can’t how sad they show try again and see if more people would see it and like it . I rate a 10 ☺❤
Very disappointed that they did not at least wrap it up for the viewers. I just found it on Netflix and watched all of it over 2 weeks. Next time, I will do a little research and not watch a new show that does this sort of thing. This show was released during a summer period and never got the advertising that other news shows get… come on…. really… If you had just had a second season start like the normal ones, it would have picked up….
I seldom watch Netflix, but the first time I watched Taxi Brooklyn, I was hooked. Both leading actors are great! It is a shame that there is no more second season. Hope you will reconsider!
Don’t cancel this is a great show and the chemistry works unlike so many other stupid shows!!! I’m 60 female and love this show!!!
Too many things left unfinished
You know it at least let the people see who died ,who lived and who got revenge.
I thought the show was great, I was looking forward to seeing Cat and Annabella duke it out in season 2. I too watched season 1 on Netflix via Roku, bad promotion killed this show, if ppl would have seen some advertising ratings would have been much better.
Cannot believe they are gonna leave it hanging. Again just found it on Netflix and is brilliant!!!
I too found the show on Netflix and I really like it. Hate that its not being renewed.
I have just discovered this show and its great. Why do all the shows I like get cancelled?
I also just found and watched this on Netflix and loved it! Had I know about it sooner I would have water it. Shows like these need to be better advertised! I am so disappointed if there will not be a season 2! Especially with that cliffhanger!
I love this show I am so tired of networks cancelling all the good shows I agree with a lot of others I think Netflix should pick up this show what they are putting out on their own is really good just wish the next season of things should come out sooner then they do but rather wait then not have it at all
I thought the same thing. The EuropaCorp needs at network, well they found it: Netflix. Give it a try!!
Bring back the show. I didn’t see it on TV. I discovered it on Netflix and am hooked!!!
