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?
a great show !! I just found it on Netflix watched all 12 shows and would love to see a second season (with same cast)
I am so tired of seeing a really great to show like Brooklyn Taxi for one season and it gets cancelled! I wish you would bring it back.
Just found Taxi Brooklyn. Positively NEED season 2. and 3 and 4 and…..
Love taxi Brooklyn bring it back !
Loved the show! Can’t believe they would leave us hanging like that.
This was a great show. Bring it back!
Great show. Please bring it back. Why are all the best shows dropped!
Just watched the whole of season 1 on Netflix.
Great show. Please bring it back or let me know how I can buy it and produce it.
I wish they could continue the Taxi Brooklyn it’s an amazing show its above all my favorite I still watch it on Netflix
This is an excellent show. I just started watching it on Netflix and decided to see when Season 2 was on. Serious but very entertaining and I love how the actors interact. Very disappointed when I saw it was cancelled. Hoping another station will pick it up.
Yes I would definitely watch another season (and more) as I really enjoyed the show. It would be great if NBC brought it back. Thank you.
Yes please, I would watch a second season. I really like the show – why do all the good shows get cancelled after one season???!!
I loved watching this show on Netflix. My schedule doesn’t allow for cable TV viewing. All shows are watched long after their original debuts’. Naturally, the season finale was the best. It felt like everyone just getting their rhythm. Bring it back!
love the show! especially chyler leigh and i think that it has a bright future,
Really a good show, good dialogue, nice chemistry with the cast, interesting plots and twists. Shold have another season. Ratings demographics are too narrow
