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 loved the show. It was suspenseful and funny at the time. I was wondering what happened to the show so I googled it and found it was cancelled. I would absolutely watch it on a different channel or network. The ex-Greys actress and her Brooklyn taxi driver did a tremendous job. I was happy to see her on a new show. I’m disappointed it did not make it. I don’t recall the night it aired but all shows can’t be aired on Thursday night. I hope the networks start adding some shows on Monday through Wednesday.
There has to be a season 2. Really your just leaving it hang. I loved the show taxi Brooklyn
Great show will miss it when you’re back
I never tought that they would leave such a good serie ended with this clifhanger. It’sso cruel. There need to be a better way to get this serie back for a better ending.
This is ridiculous. The show was awesome. Who cares if the rating weren’t good… It’s entertainment and it shouldn’t stop… Especially if you make tv series with cliffhangers. I mean I’m paying Netflix 8 bucks a month two watch tv shows and you don’t bring a season 2 to my favorite… what’s the point to Hulu and Netflix if your not going to put/ make another season?
Please bring season 2 back. Season 1 last episode leaves us in the dark.
Yes I want a second season!!!!!! On any channel
Would like to see a second season of Taxi Brooklyn. Would definitely watch.
Please bring back Taxi Brooklyn. I want to know what’s to come
I loved Taxi Brooklyn! I’m very sorry to learn that it is likely not to continue past season 1. My apologies to the creators, director, producers, cast, & crew for so many people in this market not having their heads screwed on straight! The show should have garnered a bigger piece of the viewing audience. It was delightful.
Taxi Brooklyn was great I am upset that the show was cancelled I wish theychould have a finale.
I thoroughly enjoyed this show and am extremely disappointed that there won’t be a second season. I would definitely watch it on another channel.
Bring it back please
Forget the demographics…we are an older couple (77 and 76 yrs) and thoroughly enjoyed this show…..boo hoo…….. its disappeared, bring it back…..!
LOVED this show! Found it on Netflix and watched the whole season in 2 days! When I went online to see when it was coming back, I saw it was cancelled! BRING IT BACK! Great show!!!!!!!!
