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 make another series . This is so good . Drama with humour . We really need to know what happened to Nico , that Annabella and cat’s mother ???
I loved the show! Bring it back. Please!
So dissapointed that there is no season 2. My husband and I both loved the show
NBC, Please read the reviews below and at least do a few more episodes to tidy it up.
Really not good to let your viewers hang like that.
Assuming you want people to keep watching your shows?????
I really enjoyed the show I just watched episode 12 and I’m totally shocked that they would leave it like this. It’s like not being able to finish a book. I’m so sad it’s not renewed. At least clue it up for us!
That’s messed up that they are not having another season!!! I just rewatched it on Netflix and had thought that there had been another season but I had missed it cause I was over seas. But there isn’t a season 2!!! I wanna pull my hair out
Please give us a second season! The show ended with an unbelievable cliffhanger! It’s so unfair to let it end like this without a second season. I love the show!!!!
This is crazy. I wanted to know what happen next, at least go season 2
I was so disappointed ! At least they should have had one more to wrap it up, it just left everything up in the air and terrible. It makes me not want to watch anything because I get hooked and then they cancell.
I just watch the show on Netflix. It was a good show. I’m mad about how it ended. I’m tired of the TV networks only coming out with shows with only one season and canceling them with out giving it a chance. I think they could of ended this show with a better conclusion instead of leaving everyone hanging and upset because it wasn’t finished. Half the time when these shows first come out their on late at night where not many people can watch them so the ratings are low because some of us have to get up early… Read more »
Dumb move network
This was a thoroughly entertaining show
Once again network so called informed
Experts have screwed up
WE WANT SEASON 2 PLUS WE LIKE TO CONTINUE THE SERIES. MAYBE NETFLIX COULD MAKE IT THEIR PROJECT SINCE NBC DOES NOT WANT TO CONTINUE WHERE THEY LEFT OFF. JUST A SUGGESTION.
The show was reallly good i want a season 2
Watched from the uk and this is one of many brilliant shows I’ve watched. Another season needs to be made. Don’t let viewers down. I’m pretty sure a lot of people will watch it if it’s well promoted.
My family loved Taxi Brooklyn and are devasted there is no 2nd season. It ended up in the air, nothing really resolved. It just can’t end! Please make a 2nd season. Dianne Lee
Agree with all positive comments re TaxiBrooklyn – very enjoyable & great combination of light & dark. We were greatly anticipating S2 and so disappointed to learn it had been scrapped!
