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 love the show someone needs to finish it.
I love the show taxi Brooklyn I would watch the 2nd season
Yes, absolutely this show should be renewed. It ended with a cliff hangar and a lot of unanswered questions leading the viewer to believe there will be a follow up.
NBC you suck. You cancel all the good shows. Like we don’t have enough superhero shows as it is..
I loved watching this show and really hope that someone provides a second season.
I think there should be more episode because it’s just interesting you guys left it on a clif hanger so it was just so interesting last episode and I just wanna know what happens next does the taxi drive get back his children then after has a relationship with Suilvan or his ex wife!!
I love this show. Please let there be a second season.
Great show
This is a show that should continue. Entertaining, informative, exciting and fun. Reminds me of the old weekly shows that really had you entrance week in and week out. Please, please continue. Just for fun…I am 87 and this show has me totally engaged.
