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?
This show was awesome!
this show was great. It definitely should renewed by nvc or another network. Give it a chance! Other shows need to be cancelled!!!!
I can’t believe this show got cancelled. It is one of the best shows I have ever watched. Please somebody bring it back. Why didn’t they advertise this show and why do all the good shows get squashed. Love all the characters.
I just finished the last show on Netflix… Very disappointing there is no second season.
I enjoyed the show very much…
My wife and I really liked Taxi Broklyn and wish that it would be continued.
This was a good drama comedy. NBC is making a big mistake by not bring it back. Furthermore they need to relize with cable TV there are far to many new shows starting each season. Give them a chance. And people like me dvr all shows. Stephen getchell
oh joy but all the unreality shows are still on. Maybe i drop cable and go to netflix
They should bring the second season i can actually say i injoyed the show watched every episode when it aired i was looking forward to second season..
I was so excited to this tv series and i watch all of it and I love it it was a dam good tv series but i went on Netflix a there is no sign of a second season
I just watched this on Netflix and loved the show!! So annoyed that’s there’s no more seasons.
I loved the show. I really hope another channel picks it up.
Just watched season 1 on Netflix. I am furious there is not a season 2. After everything that that happened, especially in the last episode, seriously. At least do one long episode to sum it up like Jericho had too.
Really gripping want a second season!!!!!
Should a petition going.
I really enjoyed that show, you take off the good shows and air ********!
I’ve watched the first season in German television. It was very exciting and entertaining. From the very typical American series they differed in that it was exciting without much “bang bangs” and chrashes. I’ve been looking forward to the 2nd season. There is now so much trash sent on TV – why so ended a remarkable series?
I hate it when the money men cancel a series without any thought for their customers – over time they’ll lose more viewers because some of us don’t want to get involved with the characters only to be left with a cliffhanger.
Exactly
