In June 2002, Nickelodeon announced that Taina was cancelled after two seasons, despite big ratings. According to 'Josh Cruze', the show was also getting more expensive to produce. According to Vidal in a later interview, scripts for a third season of the series were already written before the show was cancelled.
On February 19, 2002 during its second season, Nickelodeon released the Taina soundtrack, featuring songs by Christina Vidal and LaTangela. Other songs on the soundtrack were sung by 3LW and Dream, who both guest starred on the show. The album, released by both Jive records and Nick records, includes songs such as "I Thought That We Were Friends" and the show's theme song, "Gonna Be a Star".

Whether coincidental or intentional Taina's faux tough girl persona in "Crouching Actor, Hidden Chicken" called El Mongoose might have been inspired by Michelle Rodriguez's character Diana Guzman from the 2000 independent film Girlfight.
