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?
Yes,we liked Taxi Brooklyn . It was good and different. Tired of all the CSI’S , Demons, etc. Need to get back to decent family shows.
im upset you start seeing these shows that you never saw until your in Netflix and it comes out really good show and then you see it never is going to have a season 2 ughhhhhhhhhhhh I really liked this one and would have watched it
I really enjoyed the show! It’s too bad!
Definetly would watch a season 2 . Ally Walker is cast on Longmire so I guess she did die on the ferry.
Sometimes these actors act on more than one show at a time, depends on when the shows are being filmed it may have worked out for her…..I really like the show myself so disappointed no season 2….Please bring back guys….
Loved it. Watched it on Netflix. Great characters.
I wish y’all would keep it going and make sure Greg don’t die . I want them together. The show is to good for y’all to cancel it
My husband and I found this on NetFlicks and truly enjoy it, wish it could continue
I would definitely watch another season of Taxi Brooklyn .
i wish a second season pls.
i would gladly happily enthusiatically watch a second season. bring back Cat and Leo so many more good story and plot lines to uncover so many left unresolved.
If Netflix can pick up Longmire, maybe they can do Taxi Brooklyn.
Please can you continue taxi Brooklyn I’m obsessed with it and you can’t stop it. Please continue

I like the idea of Netflix picking it up..the cast was awesome I hate the networks sometimes
