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?
Hi, I would love to watch Season 2 n I dnt really care what network as long as it is aired again. I never missed one episode. Please bring it back.
It needs to come back for a 2nd season!! The cliffhanger from the first season…we need closure!! I watched it on Netflix and enjoyed it!!!
I love this show I was hoping for the second season so I think it should be renewed.
Really like this show saw it on Netflix for the first its great! Wish they do a season 2. All the good show nbc and abc makes all was get cancelled. Ugh.
I love this show. Watched all episodes on Netflix in two days…then I find out that the next season is cancelled. COME ON PEOPLE!!! I will watch it on any channel or Netflix or whatever. Can’t believe you left us hanging . get this show back please.
They need a second season. Like Come on do it for the fans!
How pathetic of TV companies. Leave everything up in the air, no wonder these companies are losing viewers. If they don’t want to renew atleast produce a 60/75/90 min special to tie up all the loose ends.
Personally I enjoyed the series and looked forward to the new season.
The so called big boys need to grow up and stop playing stupid games. (imho)
Liked the show, watched all the episodes on Netflix, bring it back! Taxi Brooklyn was a great show!
This show should not be cancelled with so many loose ends Please have a season 2
I liked it very much and I would like to see a second season and yes I would be willing to watch it on another channel if that is the only way for it to return.
I really hope they have a season 2! I need to know what happens. I have really enjoyed the show on netflix and I hope there is a season 2
Very disappointed in this. I really loved Taxi Brooklyn, watched season 1 on Netflix in 2 days and I go online to find that it’s been cancelled. The viewers should have some sort of warning, as its in my “recently added” category on Netflix, got our hopes up for nothing. I rate Taxi Brooklyn 5 stars!!!
BRING BACK TAXI BROOKLYN!!!!!!!
Yes I would like to see a second season and yes I would be willing to watch it on another channel if that is the only way for it to return.
This show was amazing! There has to be a second season; on NBC or another network. The season finale left me wanting to know what will happen next. I watched every show and each time I wanted to see more. They have to bring it back. Maybe Netflix can pick it up!
I love Taxi Brooklyn! I am gutted that that, yet again, they have cancelled another good show! I wish they would reconsider it’s fate and give us the season two we so desperately want!
