It’s crunch time for Timeless and Blindspot. Deadline reports both series will be meeting about new seasons with NBC soon.
Blindspot, which stars Jaimie Alexander and Sullivan Stapleton, will return on March 22nd. Ratings for the thriller drama have declined significantly since season one. Season two has earned an average rating of 1.10 in the 18-49 demo with 5.205 million viewers. For comparison, season one averaged a 1.83 rating in the 18-49 demo and a total of 6.92 million viewers.
Meanwhile, Timeless has problems beyond low ratings. The freshman series is currently the subject of an ongoing copyright lawsuit between NBC and the Spanish media company Onza Entertainment.
When asked about the time travel drama, NBC chief Jennifer Salke said the network loves the show:
We love Timeless. It’s a great performer. I thought it could benefit from an earlier timeslot but we have Blindspot earlier so there’s just going to be some decisions based on the pilots — and there’s not that many pilots.”
According to Deadline, the creators of both Timeless and Blindspot will meet about new seasons with NBC next week.
Update: Timeless co-creator Shawn Ryan has tweeted that they’ll be pitching to NBC on April 2nd.
What do you think? Do you watch Timeless and/or Blindspot? Do you think NBC should renew one or both?
Timeless is one of the best new shows this season. Definitely keep it!
Very enjoyable show. Keep it!
My wife and I watch both shows religiously.
I realize Timeless is similar to The 12 Monkeys, but I still like it. Great history show even if it bends some truths.
Love Timeless! Not only is the show entertaining but it is educational. I’ve learned more history from Timeless than I did in school! Renew it and move it to an earlier slot so families can watch with their kids!
My husband and I love Blindspot! We have been looking for it each week to see if it will be on this season has been a rough on with the schedule one week it is on and the next two weeks off this makes it hard for the viewers. We hope this show continues. The acting is great the plot wonderful and always keeps you guessing and I would hate to see it not played out to its full potential. Please don’t take our ” mid-week date night” away.

Timeless should be kept running, it is worth the time 🙂
Between Timeless and Blindspot, I think renewing Timeless is the best choice. It’s a great show for the whole family. The same can’t be said about Blindspot.
Love both Timeless and Blindspot! Keep Both!! ❤️
Timeless is a great show. I sincerely hope it does not get cancel. Blindspot is a good show too but if I had to pick between the two, I’d go with Timeless.
I love both shows. Blindspot and Timeless
We love TIMELESS! Please, please, please renew for a Season Two!
Timeless is great! We have actually looked up some of the real characters portrayed – not many dramas that are educational and entertaining as well. WE love the characters/actors, too.
Agree. We did the same
I love Blindspot. Don’t care about Timeless.
Timeless is great. It’s one of only two scripted dramas that I watch (the other being Chicago Justice, which just started)
I love that even though Timeless has the obligatory shadowy Big Bad Conspiracy Organization, it’s kept the story straightforward enough that I don’t find myself constantly scratching my head at trying to decipher vague clues, but there’s just enough mystery to make me curious enough to eagerly await the next episode. I really hope they bring it back, and that if they do, the show runners won’t go off the rails 🙂
