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 would definately watch a second season of Taxi Brooklyn as I loved the first season and was so sad at the end and need to find out more!!
I just discovered this unique show on NetFlix. I knew it was Season 1 and was so disappointed to find out the show is no longer. I really enjoyed this program. The characters blended well together. The drama, and the humor woven into it really resonated with me. Would have been marvelous to have this team together again. At least to put closer to the show. Season 1 ended on a high point. We, the viewers would love to have closer. Please bring it back!
They should make season 2 I thought it was funny in great I like the ending episode 12 but it suck cause you never know what happens cause the shows done that suck like really
I would definitely watch another season. Bad slot from the beginning. interesting charactors, plot lines are better than alot on tv at the moment. Should be given another chance.
I think Taxi Brooklyn was great. It hosted a wide range of characters and had a very layered plot. It left Season 1 with an incredible cliffhanger and so much potential for the next season. Please bring back Taxi Brooklyn!!!
Great show!! Please bring it back
Great show. I am watching Netflix reruns now.
Easy fix on rating:
1. Less FOCUS on her father’s murder.it should be back drop otherwise two cases in a half hour are too confusing and / or bland.
2.Cat’s mother and captain relationship is not that funny after 50 icky jokes, move it a long in some direction…fix it to use it, or lose it. .the jokes leave a dead spot in the script. They are just throwaway comments. After the fist smirk they add nothing
Just tighten up the writing
It is very sad to hear that they stoped it. There are so many open questions. I like this show.
Great show. I really hate it’s been canceled. Maybe Netflix will continue it as they have a few others…. at least a season or a few episodes to get some answers and to get to a logical ending.
My husband and. I loved the show. We watched it on Netflicks.
Such ashame that there isn’t going to be a 2nd season.
Loved this show. The only reason why NBC would be watched in my household.
I am watching the series now and I love it! Will be looking out for season 2.
I loved it, you HAVE to have a second season you cant end it on a cliff hanger I would definitely watch it on another channel please please please make another season i just love leo and cat and the relationship they have together
Hi my name is Vaughan, I honestly think that taxi Brooklyn shouldn’t be cancelled, in fact there are so many TV shows that have been cancelled that it’s ridiculous. I have personally seen countless movies and TV shows and can say without a doubt that there have been so many good TV series cancelled before hitting there prime. Why not give a show at least 2 to three seasons before shutting it down. NBC will blame it on not enough viewers therefore not enough money is being made, but here’s the truth there are so many people who don’t know… Read more »
To Bad, found it to be great show.
