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?
Please do a season 2. 3. 4. etc.. The show was brittiant, fast moving and funny, loved it, binge watch the last 5 episodes. PLEASE
I just get so frustrated at the writers who, without thinking ahead, write a dozen cliff-hangers into the season’s finale, then … just … leave. If you’re not going to renew, AT LEAST film a single long episode to tie up the loose ends! Jerks…
I’m in Australia and I just watched the entire first season in two days and I loved it. What’s happen to cats mum, did she did or is she alive, did Leo save his son. We need another season or few more. Here’s a fact the only reason why NBC is losing folks is because u are always cancelling shows and they are too scared to get hooked just in case some braid dead moron decides to cancel it.
Loved it! No one should be left hanging on that kind of finale and then boom no more.. at least make an ending for Pete’s sake
Really you guys! The show was amazing and im very disappointed that there is not going to be a second season! Why on earth would yall leave us hanging like that?! What happens with raulk casso? What about Nico and his mom?! How does Kat react to Gregg and her mother dying at the same time? Does Gregg end up okay? Yall seriously left us with so many hanging questions. I really hope for a second season…
I just finished the the season 1 !!!Please do another season this show is GREAT I will go nuts not knowing what happen!!!!!
OMG DOES LEO EVEN FIND NICO?? HOW DID NO ONE NOTICE RONNIE PASS OUT AT A DAMN AIRPORT?? BRING IT BACKKKKKK
I just finished the first seson to find out there’s no moreWWWHHHYYY GOD WHY! they left with such a cliff hanger

I would love to see a second season of racism Brooklyn. I really enjoyed the show.
Actually gutted that this has been cancelled it was a brilliant show
I’m Getting Tired Of All The Shoes I Get To See And Then Later On See There Is No Other Season This Is Totally Riduculious And It Ticks Me Off This Is Totally Not Right And They Need To Stop Ruining Good Television Shows And Then Putting On Stupid Shows Like Blackish Or Challenge Rivals American Tv Has Seriously Tooken A Step Backwards And Makes My Head Spin Thank You NBC And Other Programs For Ruining Telivison By Canceling Good Shoes Viewers Start To Enjoy.
You do it every time. I start enjoying a show , get invested in the characters and you cancel it
Reality shows are so bad, I am totally over them. Don’t care about them , they are so fake. Just like Rosewood, really enjoyed that also and it was cancelled. You need a new rating system. Hire someone else.
Season Two please
That’s crazy to end a show like that! My family really enjoyed it
That a shame it want be a season 2 I like the movie so I think it should be a season 2 I want to know what happen to his son and her mother
