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?
What a way to end the show!!!!!!! We need to have a second season. I know there would be a lot of people who would watch Taxi Brooklyn Season Two. You can’t end it like this. There is so many unanswered questions
Put the show back on

To bad . right when you find a show that I enjoy, it gets canceled.
I loved taxi brooklyn and they should have a season 2 because it stopped at a stupid spot and it makes me mad when I’m watching something and they stop it and plus she has the same name as me lol.
I liked Taxi Brooklyn. ..I watched the entire series on Netflix and the show was funny, light hearted with a bit of suspense. ..I wish someone would pick it up, I work 2 jobs as a counselor aND with regular exercise and moments of TV time to escape keeps me sane. So, please consider renewing or finding another home for Taxi Brooklyn to keep this old counselor sane a little longer. 😉 thank you for taking the time to read this. !
I loved taxi Brooklyn thought it was corny at times but great to watch and what a last episode we have to find out what happens
