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?
Damn shame no 2nd season you must of had it in a bad time slot . Saw it on Netflix
They could at least end the story, it really sucks when they just leave you hanging
I enjoyed this movie series tremendously. It’s always the good shows that gets cut and the bad movies just keeps going. This movie was clean and straight from the hip. The actors were superb, the story line was excellent. It was a family oriented movie to at least letting the young movie viewers know that you don’t have to have bad language dripping from your mouth to make a good down to earth movie. Please don’t leave us hanging with the issue of knowing if Caitlyn’s mother surviving the Ferry bomb or Leo’s son getting rescued. I most certainly want… Read more »
Love this show, so disappointed that NBC canceled it. I’m not understanding why all the good shows are getting canceled.
I really liked Taxi Brooklyn. Please at least do one more season to wrap some things up. I hate being left with only the season ending cliff hanger.
thank you
Why do these damn networks keep cancelling good shows and leave the crappy ones on? They SUCK.
NBC did a horrible job of prublicizing Taxi Brooklyn. I thought it was a netflix show until I googled it. Seriously it’s a good show that needed more promoting. There is definitely room for a season 2 or at least a way to wrap it up. You cancel this but keep a show like the slap? That show got so much pre-season publicity and it stinks. Do the right thing here.
I just binge watched all twelve episodes in 24 hours and I am super sad to find out now that the show has been cancelled!!!!!! Please bring it back, I loved everything about it!
I love this show can bring back please please please thanks
Great show ….. Can’t wait for a sequel
I loved Taxi Brooklyn!! I am dying to see a season 2! Please make another season !
Zero ‘chemistry’ between the leads and unconvincing support characters sunk this show from the start, the “comedy” element was forced and uninspired, and the black actor was not a good choice, too old and too out of condition….absolutely no cool factor there. Tired old story lines and lack lustre writing with an unbelievable premise from the start. A great French movie that should have been used as the template, not another transplant to the USA, I’m glad it will not be renewed.
Chriss Copp, I suppose you can come up with a better storyline?
You are one of only TWO negative comments here…go back to watching
your reality shows!
Please bring this show back I love the cast
We are watching episode 8 on Netflix and are so upset to find that you didn’t do a good job publicizing this fantastic show. Mash had a very slow start. PLEASE find another station to continue this show. Hlen Herget
To whom it may concern, NBC. Regarding TV show Taxi Brooklyn. Please renew and put show back on air. Sincerely it will be missed by many viewers. Thank you.
