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?
TaxiBrooklyn was a great series! Terrific casting; an adult humor, mystery and clever situation. Deserves another run!
Loved the show bummed not renewing
great show. good Netflix watching
Of Course they need to make a season two!!! I know I would definitely watch It, I love this show.
Taxi brooklyn was a good show bring it back. Probably other shows were at same time. Show it on Friday or Saturdays open slots.
this got better and better as the season went on. cant believe they left it on a massive cliffhanger. they should at least do one extended last episode to finish off the story
I just finished watching the last show of season 1 & very disappointed that we are left hanging. . Why bother airing stupid shows we won’t watch them. I am hoping season 2 will be airing soon. & get notified by netflix when or if it may come back.
I just got through watching Taxi Brooklyn, and I can’t believe they cancelled after only one season. I was really glad that finally CBS was going to leave a good show on the air. I’m reallg disappointed that there won’t be more seasons.
Wow. You’re kidding me. Just finished the season and I can’t believe they won’t at least do one more season.
How could they not renew after a season finale like that. What a cliff hanger, so much left unanswered.
Netflix needs to pick it up!!!
Agreed!
We are very sad. Just watched the 12th episode and are wanting more. to create more Left hanging on a cliff.
We are very sad. Just watched the 12th episode and are wanting more. There must be a way to create more episodes.. Left hanging on a cliff.
Can’t believe no 2nd season love to see it return for more seasons….,…….
I loved Taxi Brooklyn and thinks it sucks that it was cancelled. Instead they keep stupid shows on.
Yes, I would definitely watch a second season if it was on another network. I loved the show..
