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 please do at least two or three episodes to finish up the story. There is so much still to resolve.
🙁 plz bring the show back. I need to know what happens. At least do a mini series for all the fans of the show. It’s good
Awesome show, loved it from the beginning. It really sucks that it won’t be returning
Please bring it back. I love this show.
I am very disappointed that this quality show has been cancelled. We need a lot less reality shows and more of Taxi Brooklyn! I can’t believe we were left hanging like this!!!
I cannot believe it’s been cancelled! Why are all the good shows cancelled and utter crap remains? It’s been so long since an excellent cop show with an excellent cast and writing like this one. I just watched the final episode on Netflix and I’m left not knowing if Ronnie, Greg or Cat’s mom are dead or alive or if they’re gonna nail that Annabella or what’s going to happen to Nico and Aimee. Bring us season 2 instead of leaving us hanging after dropping all these cliff hangers at the end of season 1! Drop The Biggest Loser. That’s… Read more »
I just finished watching the first Season on Netflix. One of the best shows on TV. I can’t believe you canceled it.. Someone should pick it up and run with it! Hey Netflix???? How about it?
I vote to keep Taxi Brooklyn running. Just discovered it on Netflix and found it to be a great show!
Bring it back! I loved it. I watched every episode in one day on Netflix. We have a lot of crappy reality series on tv and a lot of people don’t like those. I’m one of them. This show was great. Please please please put it back on. Maybe try a different night or time.
There should be a second season in 2016. I want to see what it develops into. Season one ratings were a just a hiccup and ratings for season two will be very high. The show is better than Castle and people will see that season two.
Just found this show on Netflix last night and I am really enjoying it. I think it should get a 2nd chance somewhere!!!
Just found this show on Netflix last night and I am really enjoying it. I think it should get a end chance somewhere!!!
I just finished watching season 1 on Netflix…I was thoroughly entertained!! This show certainly need a season 2 somewhere! PLEASE PUT SEASON 2 ON NETFLIX!!!
at least make a second season put on Netflix I mean it was such a good TV show I would really would hate to see it end
What is wrong with NBC? This should have never been cancelled. I was so involved in this show.
