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?
OMG nooo. I loved Taxi Brooklyn so much and want to know what will happen after the end of season one!!!! I definitely need SEASON 2!
Just finished watching Taxi Brooklyn on Net Flick. I really loved it and now to find its canceled after that season finale is killing me.
It took a few episodes to really grow on you but I’m hooked on it now. Would love to see more!
i loved every esposide of season 1, yes I sure would like to see season 2 come back. There seems to be a lot of bad TV these days, but those shows keep going, a good show airs and next thing you know it is cut. Please bring it back!
As if it ended like this I’ve been hooked since the first episode could watch loads then you leave me what that season finale ending I hope to god someone airs season 2 and it isn’t actually cancelled Netflix sort it out you seem to do this with a few shows!!!
I like it too.Waiting for season 2.
Waiting for the Season 2 .. It was so different, yes it had some weak episodes, but all in all it was really fun watching it. Should definitely be renewed.
How can they leave the viewers hanging like that??? We need Season 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the show. The cast is a great mix; the story line very compelling. It stands out from the other detective series-the place, the team, the storyline, and, the criminals are bad, but not so violent and evil (and hard to watch) as in other crime shows. The last episode was quite a shock and leaves you hanging. I can’t believe there will be no second season to come out of that!!! Big mistake not to continue.
Enjoying the show on Netflix!! Would love to see more as well as more Backstrom and Battle Creek !!!!!!
It’s like an accident, you know it’s bad, but you can’t stop watching. It should have been cancelled after two episodes.
Fun! Loving this show on Netflix!
Fun show. Loving it on Netflix.
Loved watching back to back episodes on Netflix! I’m needing season 2 after watching the season finale!
IKR! MAN–HATE THAT NETFLIX GETS THESE SHOWS–GET YOU HOOKED THEN WHAM! LEAVES YOU HANGING! IF THEY DONT HAVE THEM ALL–SHOULDNT PUT ANY ON THERE ! I THINK THIS IS THE WORSE– KID AND EXWIFE KIDNAPPED– MOM BLOWN UP WITH BOMB– HER EX DEAD AND FRAMED–FRIEND STABBED-AND HER CHARGED WITH MURDER-HOW MUCH MORE CRAZY COULD IT BE TO BE LEFT LIKE THIS!
I’d be ok with one more episode even just to wrap things up but the finale….WHYYYY????
I loved this show .Loved the suspense that was growing with each episode.The end let all of us who watched this show down.Can’t believed that it ended this way !!!
