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 need another season at least to put closure to the season 1 finale. I enjoyed the program very much. Drama and comedy and a good plot.
Please bring Taxi Brooklyn back!!!!!!!! Too many unanswered questions. A great day to learn French also.
I am sorry Taxi Brooklyn has been canceled. I enjoyed it, Chyler Leigh is a good actor, sadly she was killed off of ABC’s Greys Anatomy. Also a few years ago NBC tried remaking Ironside, but it sucked. Blair Underwood is a better actor then that. Now we won’t know the result of last seasons finale.
Taxi Brooklyn was one of my favorite shows. I didn’t even know it was on NBC. I found it on Netflix, and watched the whole series every chance I got. Twice! Cat and Leo have great chemistry! I really hope there is a second season, and third, etc. pleeease continue the show!
PLEASE HAVE A SECOND SEASON HOW CAN YOU JUST CUTT OFF THE SEASON WITHOUT SEEING LEO SAVE NICO AND HIS WIFE AIMEE, OR EVEN CAT REVENGE ON AMANDA, AND DID EVEN HIS ROOMATE SURVIVE AFTER BEING STABBED AT THE AIRPORT????? PLEASE BRING SEASON TWO =( =(
We thoroughly enjoyed Taxi Brooklyn and then they leave us with a cliff hanger revolving around several different stories and don’t renew the show. Thanks NBC! Why do networks constantly leave shows with cliff hangers and then do not renew? Why should the viewers show any loyalty to a program because the networks sure don’ts care. At least film 4-6 episodes to close it all off.
Great show, binged watched on Netflix. Duly noted sherry huntef “crime buster without the fbomb”.
How unfair to leave a season finale this good hanging. I hope some station picks it up and carries it on. It is a good show and has very good potential as seen by the season finale. A lot of heart was beginning to develop within this show and it’s characters.
Just as disappointing as Crossing Lines. We get all into the storyline & character profiles, the excitement builds, then they have too much happen at the season finale with major cliffhangers, then drop the show without finishing the story. It’s like buying a gripping mystery novel with the last few pages ripped out. Seriously disappointing!
I was really looking forward for a second season
I enjoyed the show, very exciting! Maybe if you would have the some shows play in the summer would be better, so many different channels and shows, in the falls to winter shows. Summer TV is soo boring! I watch the 1st season on Netflix. please bring it back,
What happen to Miko and his mother etc., u left us all hanging on to next season and then u dropped the show. Please bring it back.
I loved it. The finale was spectacular!! please bring it back!
How unfair to viewers to leave us hanging with that ending and not renew the series for Season 2. I enjoyed and got caught up in it. It should be brought back.
NBC should just quit airing tv shows and only have news. It seems like they cancel every show they air like The Event, Crisis, Taxi Brooklyn. Perhaps if they didn’t try to air them at times when more popular shows were on people would not have to choose to miss their current favorite show(s).
Just watched season one and it is awesome… refreshing to see crime busters without the fbomb. Pleaseplease continue.
