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 shame not to have a 2nd season. Europacorp, please do something to please all viewers that loved the amazing duo!

I am BEYOND hurt. I’m sitting here in the parking lot of one of my favorite stores. As soon as the last episode of “Taxi Brooklyn” went off I immediately googled info for the 2nd season…. we shall definitely needs to be on TV. But, even if it weren’t I wouldn’t care if it’s just a Netflix series as long as They come back. It Amazes me how popular the trash of reality TV shows soars through today’s society but just good quality shows that give us a break from ratchetness don’t have a chance. Please, & I mean with… Read more »
Please please please please please do another season of taxi Brooklyn it was one of the best shows I’ve ever watched please
cant leave us with that ending from season 1!!!
great show!!! really suprised in the quality of camera time and acting…Season two please!!!
I just watched season 1 on Netflix and found this to be a great show and give my vote to make season 2
This show was extremely amazing I think a second season should go on & many more!
I just finished watching season 1 on Netflix and was disappointed to see/hear that it has not been renewed for another season. Did the network every stop to think the ratings were low do to the time of year in which it was aired?! I never heard of the show until I saw it on Netflix but then again spring/summer time I tend to not watch TV too often.
PLEASE DO ANOTHER. GIVE IT A CHANCE!!! IT IS AN AWESOME SHOW BEST OVER SEEN IN AWHILE AND IT WASN’T TO RONCHY LIKE ALOT THAT ARE OUT HERE NOW A DAYS. PLEASE. YOU CAN’T LEAVE PEOPLE HANGING LIKE THIS. I THINK THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN
This ain’t fair. Best sitcom I’ve seen in awhile and we are left like this. Maybe if there was more advertisement on this show people would have known. I only heard of it on Netflix and did a marathon watch the whole season, then looked up if season 2 is coming and this popped up to say NO. You’re kidding me. Not cool to leave is hanging like this. This sucks
I just watched Season One on Netflix. I can’t believe it’s been cancelled. The cliffhangers it ended on NEED to be followed up. Maybe Netflix could stream a second season. Please please bring it back!
My husband and I liked the show and are still hoping for a 2nd season.
Just watched the series on Netflix and I though it was cool, something a bit different from all the other detective shows..
It ended on such a double cliffhanger, it would be criminal not to do a second season…
Please re-consider……
I really hope another network picks this show up and continues it. I, for one, would definitely watch it.
I have just started watching it on netflicks and really sad to hear that its not renewed
i would love even a few more episodes to wind it up
