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?
Please dont cancel Taxi Brooklyn!! It is an excellent show!!
My wife and I enjoyed this show very much. It had a clever idea for the show and we enjoyed the interaction between the cast. We were lookin forward to the 2nd season and just saw our DVR recording of the last episode from last year so we could catch up with the happenings of last season. So sorry that more people didn’t tune in or didn’t give the show a chance. Unfortunately the Demographics were not met for the producers, the network and mainly the advertisers. We have seen a lot of shows we enjoyed due to the demographics.… Read more »
Just sat and watched whole season today and I couldn’t stop watching it. I had never heard of it until I came across it on Netflix. I’m from Scotland so not many good things come our way on TV. So Netflix is the next best thing. This has been one of the best TV series I have watched since stopped watching walking dead as binged on that off Netflix as well :)! Please bring out more seasons. For people to say they didn’t like it have no sense of humour and don’t know a good TV programme if it hit… Read more »
Loved this show and I hate to hear that it’s probably not coming back. Leaving us hanging with that last episode? Not cool!
Bring it back!! It was a good show. Liked the premise of the show.
Please bring back the show. It was awesome. Please please please.
Great show like the others I never saw it on TV but saw it on netflix . It should be given at least another season
I don’t remember it ever being on TV, but we found it on Netflix and have loved it. Don’t leave us hanging!
Watch the show and it is really good. It was a shame that they cancel the show. I’m very disappointed !!! I would really like to see more seasons.
Thanks
This serie aired during the summer vacation on our Belgium network (2BE) and I loved it from the first episode. The balance between humor and action is great. I was on the edge of my seat during the last episode and now I am hoping that a second season will follow. Please, please, pretty please make a second season!
Watched series on netflix having never heard of it before. It is fun but p[erhaps ridiculous nonsence is also a good way of describing it. episode 10 (the longest night) for example, has them all under seige in police station with phone lines down. No one it appears seems to be out on the beat that they can contact by radio…even worse they have cell phones but dont think to y#use them. No passer byes seem to he3ar gun shots…it is crazy…but fun as well
I enjoyed it and have now been left hanging! Would love to see a second season.
That show was great!!! Watched it from Netflix. How could anyone not like it! And how are you gonna end it with a crazy ending and not have another season!??? The ferry gets blown up, her ex gets set up then dies, she gets set up and his kid and ex wife get kidnapped…and Ronny is stabbed. I sure hope a second season happens or is in the process! !
As many others, I don’t remember the show being advertised for television. I only became aware of the show through Netflix. I enjoyed it immensely, and was looking forward to another season. Please reconsider and bring the show back.
Please bring this show back. It is an excellent series , watched it on Netflix . I would defiantly have this show on my favourites list. Please bring the show back. Thanks so much
