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?
The show is very good. I’m guessing with ABC NBC and CBS competing it didn’t have a chance. With it being on Netflix now and Netflix is all i watch then more episodes should be added
Please produce a season two. So love the characters.. PLEASE!!!
I’d love to see it. Even on Netflix as a series or online, I’ll keep checking up. Obviously it has fans and followers! I love the action and drama mixed with biting comedy..makes for an intelligent show.
I just discovered the show on amazon, binge watched every episode. the characters really grow on you. I was very distressed to learn that the show finale — so dramatic— would never be resolved!!!!!!
Honestly, I LOVED IT! On the last episode I was crying like a baby, it’s such a cliffhanger, you would think they would renew it for a second season because with four stars on Netflix and so many viewers I think it should be renewed. I am pretty upset that it won’t be :”(
There must be a second season. I need another season. The first season ended with such a cliffhanger that I am dying to know what happened to,Gregg,Cat’s mother,and Leo’s family.
Please do a second series of taxi Brooklyn, it’s an ace drama. .
Need season 2!!! I need to know what happens I love taxi Brooklyn
Please continue with taxi Brooklyn it was just getting really good!!! Can’t just stop it there I need to know what happens next!!!!
Yes, Please continue with season 2. We like the characters on this show and have been watching it regularly. There is a nice balance of humor and action.
Please do the 2nd season it is one of the best shows ever
Yes to season 2!! It’s such a good & exciting show. The last episode on season 1…. Left you wanting more! Please on any channel we need season 2.
Yes thetr should be a second season cause you can’t leave it at her ex husband being shot and then boat her mother was on be blowing up and leo son an ex wife being kidnapped come on what they hell it really pissed me off.
I want season 2,because the first season ended vary bad.Please find a way to do second season.
Keep it going! It was a fresh approach to the process of solving crime. The two leading actors gave exactly what was needed in every performance. The least that should happen is the continuance of those roles. Taxi Brooklyn is refreshing and one show I never want to miss! Keep It Going! PLEASE!
