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?
What a major disappointment!!! This grippingly funny cop show has just been released onto Neflix AUS and there won’t be a second season… Umm…. WHY NOT? NBC you failed again!!!
I liked the light humour and the bantering between the various characters. I would enjoy a season 2. Disappointed there isn’t one coming.
I can’t believe NBC has cancelled Taxi Brooklyn – We have watched the whole first season and really liked it! Was looking forward to seeing the second season. That sucks!!!

NBC not happy you should answer all left unanswered question’s even if make a one off film.
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed watching it and was very disappointed to find out that it was cancelled. We are still looking to see if it’s going to be brought back as of September 2017
It should have an ending
WOW NBC def know how to ruin a good time. Pissed thiss is badass show.
I really liked it! I can’t believe they won’t do another season. Ending it like that just isn’t cool! As each episode played it got better and better. I want another season!
I think the series was terrific. Started a bit week and got progressly great.
Hate the thought of no second season.
Am so pissed of right now, I just finished watching season 1 and reading that there isn’t going to be season 2!! Are you kidding me?? Not to mention where the season ended, you have to make season 2… Cause I wanna know what’s gonna happen to everyone…. You can’t leave a show like that.. cumon NBC…. This is bad business
Are you kidding me! Just discovered the show on net flix and loved it.
You need a second season. This is a great show. At least put out a final episode to clear up these loose ends.
I just discovered Taxi Brooklyn on Netflix and am amazed it never got renewed. Great plots, good casting, good humor clear through. So disappointed when I saw there’s no season 2.
I actually enjoyed the show…. I wish they would bring it back!! Atleast on netflix….. please
