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?
Good show. Someone should pick it up and make a second season.
I really enjoyed this show, please make a second season.. u just left us hanging….
I have just finished watching Taxi Brooklyn. I thoroughly enjoyed every episode with it leaving me at the edge of my seat throughout! I am utterly disappointed that there isn’t to be a season 2 how can they leave it like that with all that happens at the end of season 2 we need to know what happens next!!
Loved the show & would definitely watch another season more.
Loved that show sorry to see it’s been cancelled
Loved the show! Would love another season!
I really liked that show….I only found it on Nexflix (we don’t have regular tv). I am disappointed to find out that the show has been cancelled 🙁
I love this show. You guys would be crazy to cancel this show forever. The character Had such great chemistry.
LOVED IT
I watched the season of Taxi Brooklynn on Netflix. I do not carry Direct TV nor regular stations. I loved the show and watched the whole season in 3 days. I am disappointed to search the internet to see if theit will be a second season and find out that I will not be able to to know what happens next.
I think it should be renewed. You ended the show with a cliff hanger. At least make another season and end it right. I don’t think its right when there isn’t an ending. Thanks for taking time to read this.
I have just watched taxi brooklyn on netflix. I would certainly watch a second series. There were too many loose ends for it to finish there.
I think this show has it all, storylines which include the development of each of the characters over each episode, morals, comedy. I am extremely disappointed that it has not been renewed, even more so with the spectacular ending to season one. We get stuck with so much stupid reality TV and good entertainment gets canned. Doesn’t make any sense to me.
The final episode was definitely left open to enable the series to continue.
Show was a bit much in some episodes, too many side issues gave me a headache sometimes but in the absence of other unseen TV shows I got in the habit of watching it.
It’s an entertaining concept, surely someone will produce another series???
I loved the show & I’m very disappointed to find out there is no season 2.
It actually got very good as the season progressed! I would love a season 2!!!
