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 actually liked this show and would have watched it for season 2
Renew. , verrrry good comdy / drama
Yes, I feel there should be a second season of Taxi Brooklyn. I really enjoyed the first season and think that you should find someone else to play Cat’s part because she no longer wants to star in the tv series. It’s a great show. And if you come out with a second season im sure you will have a lot more viewers
Loved the show, so Sad to see it over. Always the good shows get cancelled!!
Yes we would definitely watch further episodes of TAXIBROOKLYN. It’s very cruel to start a good series then dump it unceremoneosly. THE SERIES MUST CONTINUE!!!
i would watch another season
I think they should get the show to be a new netflixseries. screw nbc i love this show and the cliffhangining ending was one of the best ive ever had the pleasure to witness.to many unknows to not have a second season.
I love this show. Gutted no season 2. Watched on Netflix New Zealand.
I would really like to watch season 2….NBC or any other network please do something about
My wife and I are from Scotland and have just watched season 1 of Taxi Brooklyn on Netflix it was brilliant and are really angry that there is not going to be a second season we have just found out from your website really disappointed can we do anything about this.
I loved this show! I was hoping you would give it another chance. This one just needed somw more time for people to see it.
Have been waiting for next season, it was a good series, why do you remove a show when people like it, not everyone may not like it but a lot do. Please bring this show back
I really liked the series and wish it will air again.
was looking to see when Jacky Ido and Taxi Brooklyn returning-greatly disappointed to see no Season 2
bummed.
Loved the show and thought it had continued potential. Some shows that DO get renewed never cease to amaze me. This one was clever
Loved the series – humour, interesting characters and a real cliff hanger. Beats the reality shows hands down.! Another season is essential.
