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 loved taco Brooklyn. A group of us got together to watch it when it came out, jobs changed, schedules changed, we all recently got together to start from the beginning and finish season one on Netflix. On the edge of our seats at the last episode pining for more, only to find out there is no more! What!
And for statistic purposes, we are all 28-36.
PLEASE BRING IT BACK!
I loved the Taxi Brooklyn show and watch it and it’s the most wonderful crime show I have seen in a very long time. Please bring it back or put it on Netflix!
Please bring back this show it was amazing how many people need to say something for it to be brought back?!?!??
Please bring this show back!! Loved it! Just watched the whole season on Netflix. Bring it back!!!! Maybe it could be a Netflix series??? Please!!!
Yes, I think there should be another season. I was wanting to find out what would happen to Leo’s family and also to Cat herself. I liked the characters in the series.
Thank you.
I loved the show. Can’t believe it was cancelled. Bring it back for a season 2 on any channel.
This show was so very interesting and so different compared to others, and I’d hope season 2 or many more would air on another station. My family and I loved this show! Please bring this show back, I can’t believe somebody would want to discontinue a great show, and replace it with violent /stupid shows.
Yes, another reason I liked the show was there wasn’t so much violence in it.
Please bring it back I just found the show on Netflix and it is awesome. They always manage to cancel the good shows.
Please bring it back for a second season!!
I love the show!! Just finished watching it on Netflix and with a series finale like that we have to have a season 2!! Please make a season 2!
I couldn’t agree with you more!!
I love this show!!!! Please bring it back for a second season!! It was funny and drew me in from the very first episode!! Cat and Leo are the perfect pair!!! Please make a second season!!
I loved the show!! Please bring it back!! You ended it so wrong to not bring it back. The suspense of if Kats mom was killed, what happened to Nico? Plus much more… Please at least one more season
I too just finished watching this show on Netflix…. Hope to see a second season.
Yeah I am with Sean. I watched it and liked it alot. Nice to know I can see the final ep. on netflix again. The 2 main characters were not the usual duo. I thought there might be more intrigue around Leo since his role showed he was savvy with police work. It’s possible it was not violent enough for blood lusting viewers and not enough gross dead people. Cat, you gotta love in mho. Brooklyn Taxi deserves a tie up series final episode and so do the fans. Once again, no respect for the viewers. I avoid most series… Read more »
I just finished season one on Netflix. I highly enjoyed this show. The suspense of the final episode was intense! Bring this show back for season two!!!
