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?

Absolutely love Taxi Brooklyn and hope for a season 2
Watching show made me laugh and kept me in suspense.. I liked it much better than major crimes and they haven’t cancelled that show.
Just binged watched Taxi Brooklyn. Wow, seriously NBC? No season 2? The show was fantastic, funny, great plots, & great cast! How the heck can y’all leave so up in the air like that when the season finale was amazingly full of action and drama?? That seriously stinks that there are no more seasons to this, especially after the last episode leaves you in so much suspense!! So disappointed!!!
I loved the show and would love a season 2. It was funny, had action, and made you smile.
Would love a season 2.
The show was funny, intelligently written and well worth watching. Instead of it tho the networks give us “award winning” shows like “2 Broke Girls” that has absolutely no redeeming qualities.
Please renew this show it is an awesome show it seems like every show I like gets canceled
Please renew this show as it is very entertaining. The actors are pros and the story line is good. Also, it causes me to watch NBC. I have not done so in years.
Season 2 HAS to be ASAP
I need a season 2 ASAP!
