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?
Love this show sooooo sorry it is cancelled. I will miss the relationships.
are you kidding me? You leave us hanging like that? Is this show too intelligent for you? You kill something like this and leave the “crap” on.
Loved the show not much action but the two main characters were great. I really hope a second season is made
Well it’s just plain lousy. ..if you damn tv people think you ARE going to kill off a show without a proper ending then don’t show it at all…EVER!!! You same people killed Off KYLE….YOU SEEM TO FORGET THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO DO WANT ShowS TO CONTINUE…stuff your ratings. …!!!!!!!
I’m with you!
Please don’t cancel, love this show
Cant believe they cancelled another show that was just getting really good, bring it back!!! I totally agree with others, Netflix putting on shows that are cancelled and leaving all of us hanging and how you keep the crap shows that are horrible, give it time to be loved or sell the story to someone else.
Watched it on Netflix and Loved this show. So disappointed that there will be season 2. I don’t think you have given this show a fair airing. Please bring it back.
Please don’t cancelled it I love this show
Bring it back please, loved this series.
This makes the second series on Netflix that ended in a cliff hanger only to find out were canceled. So mad . Totally disgusted if they aired a series they knew was cancelled. I guess we draw our own conclusions.
Great show, renew for second season.
Don’t leave us hanging.
Thanks.
For4 we need more seasons wtf
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!! YOU CAN’T LEAVE US HANGING. DOES GREGG DIE?? WAS FRANKIE ON THE BOAT TAXI? DID REESE KILL THE ITALIAN GIRL? AND FRAME GREGG WHO KILLED LUKAS? AND WILL CAT GET OUT OF IT? PLEASE, THIS IS SUCH A GREAT SHOW. WHY DO ALL THE GOOD SHOWS GET CANCELLED AND THE CRAP STUFF STAY???
I I hope it’s not too late would love a season 2 Leo never got to see his son a love triangle with his ex wife and cat would be great a fight with Leo and Gregg of cat would be interesting John and Frankie. Could move in together wanting to adopt a child Ronnie could have a weird love Interest that stalks him so many twist could happen John and cay could fall out having Frankie to choose but doesn’t which leads to a bigger fall out
NBC & ABC r always cancelling very good shows w/o giving them a chance to thrive … Bring Taxi Brooklyn & Mysteries of Laura as well … Btw I’m this is NBC’s page but ABC needs to bring back CASTLE & REVENGE !!! SMH
