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?
Loved the show. Disappointed that there is no 2nd season.
I enjoyed Taxi Brooklyn and was looking forward to season 2.
This was my favorite show please let us know what we could do to get this show back on the air.
Please bring back this show! It was amazing im watching it on netflix and has a five star rating ! Why cancel it?
Please bring Taxi-Brooklyn back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can leave faithful viewers hanging. Who dies? Ronnie? Nico and his Mom? Was Kat’s mom really on the ferry?
I would definetely watch another season on Netflix.
YOU NEED TO CONTINUE THE SHOW !!!! Taxi Brooklyn is my favorite show and the fact that it’s not come back on sucks. They need to make another season that answers all the questions.
I was obsessed with Taxi Brooklyn. I’m so sad that it is not being renewed.
Very disappointed!
I was looking forward to the next season I wish they would re consider.
We just finished Season 1 and LOVED it! Just sick there is no Season2..
The season finale was one of the craziest finales I have ever seen – and I have seen plenty. I was actually really looking forward to seeing how on earth they were going to write their way out of all that insanity. The show itself was just so-so, but that finale! It should win some kind of finale tomato award! They should at least do a tv movie to conclude the storyline for the fans.
I think they should write that her mom didn’t get on the water taxi…
I loved this show. Can’t believe there’s no second season. I would definitely follow this to another network.
A show that appealed. Got better as time went on and the finale left me wanting more.
Both my wife and I were disappointed to see the shattering finale of season 1 and then deduce that Taxi Brooklyn was not being picked up for continuation. A poor decision in my book for an interesting show that had some off-beat promise and likeable characters. Still better than much of what remains on NBC. Saw it on Netflix and hope they will pick it up
Sorry no second season for Taxi Brooklyn. Disappointed!!!!!!!!!
