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 Taxi Brooklyn and really do wish that a second season would be aired. Please reconsider NBC!
Thank you!
I think it’s terrible to fall,in like with a storyline and character just to be shut down after one season.
was looking on the internet for more info about season 2 and reading this bad news. I’m devastated. Why after this explosive season final, would they cancel this serie. I was really curious for the ending.. . hopefully they will reconsider. Call me a fan from Belgium. I know our country is tiny comparing to the USA, but here it’s a quite popular tv serie!
Bring it back!!!!!!!!!!! stages of grief.
Considered it an extremely amusing comedy. A great improvement over many of the totally ridiculous series currently on TV that should be removed. I watch most of my shows on Netflix to avoid trash productions and commercials.
Oh what? They axed it… I only heard of it from Netflix and I watched their first season and thought it was amazing!! They should make the second season so we can see what will happen to Cat and Leo.. Definitely bring it back.
Bring it back. I’m 57 and loved it. Distribute via netflicks.
i just finished the show on Netflix and I loved it. It showed NY as a place other than just being dirty and scary. i loved aspects of the show of family and the police force being constantly pulled in different directions. The last episode left so many things unanswered. I would definitely watch a second season. Maybe Netflix should pick it up.
I am sad that the show will no longer be continued . We, my group, watched it religiously. Bring it back, please.
It was a good show, however I didn’t even know about it until I seen it on Netflix. I was really looking forward to season 2. Sorry to hear that there is not one.

I too, did not know of it until seeing it on Netflix and I watch NBC quite a bit. Never saw an ad on NBC and if I just saw the name on a TV guide listing I would have assumed it was it was a reality show about a taxi in Brooklyn as it seems reality is all they make new now.
I am extremely disappointed! It was one of the best shows on tv in my opinion, it was funny, use some drama, and the characters had great chemistry. I hope they will change their minds and bring it back.
I loved Taxi Brooklyn but did not discover it until I started using Netflix for TV. I would definitely watch another season.
I wached it on Netflix and looking forward to see second season and naw I am dispointed.
Thanks,

I enjoyed it, It needs to come back and finish. The public was given a series that left us in the air, great charactors and actors. Bring us another season.
I would absolutely watch a second season of Taxi Brooklyn on another station. Myself and my friends were all devastated when it didn’t return. Please bring it back.
Thanks,
