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?
Yes I would watch it. I hate it that they cliffhanged it. That is just bad news we just finished watching the first season on Netflix. I hope some network will pick it up
Loved the shoe should be a second season wàaah
Loved it. Would love to see more!! Boo hoo…..no season 2. 🙁
Taxi Brooklyn was a great action series and often funny. I would definitely watch a second season. I can’t believe it didn’t get good ratings, but I don’t think it received very good promotion. Now that it’s on Netflix, lots of people will be hearing about it. I wonder if Netflix could produce a second season.
I LOVE TAXI BROOKLYN! Make another season.
Thank you
i just watched this on Netflix and I’m devastated that there is no season 2!!! It was a total cliff hanger ending and now I’ll never know! I would definitely watch season 2 if it aired anywhere!
