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?
So fucked up, finally found a movie based TV show thats a million time better than anything on air, only to find out its been canceled. Seriously, why the hell do they keep canceling all the good shows And keeping **** on air?
That was soooo mean to leave the viewers hanging like that!!! You must understand: Everyone does not watch TV shows when they make their 1st debut. People (like me) may not get to it until it’s on cable, satellite, or Netflix. It doesn’t mean we don’t want to see it!!!
Series 2 is a must, please need to know what happens
OMG please bring season 2. I was here left in AWE so excited to watch season two and get some answers, and I find out it’s not returning? Bring it back!
My family loved the show and want it brought back for another season
I’m disappointed, I love this show . I wanna see season 2 plz .
So disappointed – just watch Season 1 on Netflix NZ. I am frustrated not knowing the outcome – the last episode left unanswered questions.
Great show and cast not only for US but for international distribution too! It should be continued with the same cast.
I am so disappointedthe show cancelled!! Bring it back with the same cast.
You should have kept Taxi Brooklyn on it actually was a good show it was a time slot problem. Maybe Netflix should pick it up

just watched season 1 on Netflix. The writing and acting got better as the show went on. Nice balance between comedy/drama. Maybe Netflix should pick up the show.
