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?
Thought the show was very entertaining
Don’t understand why it was discontinued . So Sad.
The show should comeback. My wife and I loved it very much.
Bring it back. It’s funny, sad and a really good series. It’s just clean and even my mum loves it and she usually dislikes American programmes.
Lousy way to end a series! Netflix should offer a second season.
enjoyed the show. wished it had made it to 2nd season.
The taxi driver and the girl, had no chemistry at all.. She was always angry and he smiled all the time while she insulted him. it was uncomfortable and odd to watch. It´s not a surprise they are gone.
That’s really too bad there is no second season that show was really good that’s too bad when something’s really good clean straightforward action to be not renewed really stinks I hope even though the states didn’t pick it up I hope someone will because it was great to watch looking forward to a second season because the show is very good and hopefully Netflix will pick that second season I our lost that was great entertainment
Netflix should have posted a notice at the beginning of First Segment letting us know that we going to get shafted after Segment 12. Real Nice Guys!
I finally found show that almost measures up to castle and then it’s cancelled??!!! I’m so dissaponted. It’s an AMAZING show
Very DISSAPOINTED to not have more of the story!! Agree that Netflx could do another season or two… It was a good show!
Yes I would love to see another season I really enjoyed the show and now I have to know what happens!
Man just discovered it also on Netflix was hooked and then that cliffhanger they could at least do a mini series or even a movie to clean up the mess
Can’t they just produce a Netflix season or two to conclude the story? It was a fun show – fun and addictive! I would have continued watching.
I really enjoyed the show it had the right mix of humour and action . I hate shows that end on a cliffhanger . I think the NBC should allow it to have a conclusion. There are so many rubbish shows on TV that we have to endure . When and entertaining show turns up you hate to see it end . I hope NBC reconsiders the second season.
I really want to know what happens next! They should at least have a couple of shows that answer the cliffhangers they left us with in the revenge episode (last one of Season 1)
