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?
Bring it back
I just watched the entire first season on Netflix. It was great! Please bring it back!
Bring it back!!!!!! Same characters!
No comparison to so much of the trash tv out there. A great show and I’m sorry it didn’t go further
Very upset to hear there is only one season!
rarely I get goose ponds like I did with the ending of this series, for sure I will watch season 2, but different characters now perhaps won’t be the same
I was disappointed to find out there is only 1 season of “taxi Brooklyn” on Netflix . I really enjoyed the show , cast and story line. I want to see more . NBC should bring it back !
I really started liking the show. It grows more and more on you every episode. Like any good tv show, the characters become like family. I would love to see a season 2. Action shows with comedic relief that works is rare these days. Someone call Netflix!!!
Please do the 2nd season. I think it’s an amazing show. I don’t even watch much tv but if I would have known of this show before best believe I would be watching it live. If you can’t do it with this productions use another and bring it back and promote the hell out of it that is coming back so people can know and you will see the results you get. You won’t regret it. Give it a second change.
I usually never even watch shows like Taxi Brooklyn but this show hooked me! I think it was so much better than the rating it received, and I would really like it it was brought back to the air.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I want to see more of this show Taxi Brooklyn! It’s phenomenal and deserves a way better rating then what it received!
Whatttt? Whyyy it was a good show, can only imagine how it would have been in the second season
wish it had not been cancelled. compared to the influx of so called reality shows that are garbage, this show has merit based on it is, entertainment. I just sorry I had to wait to see it on netflix and not when it was originally aired.
cant understand why its been cancelled, it was just getting interesting. Maybe Netflix could do a second series.
Show should be continued. It was just starting to really get interesting
