(HBO)
Clare and Henry’s tale has come to a close. HBO has cancelled The Time Traveler’s Wife so the couple won’t be returning for a second season. The six episodes of the first season finished airing on June 19th.
A science-fiction romance series that was based on the novel by Audrey Niffenegger, The Time Traveler’s Wife TV show stars Rose Leslie, Theo James, Desmin Borges, and Natasha Lopez. The story follows the out-of-order love story between Clare Abshire (Leslie), and Henry DeTamble (James). They have a marriage with a significant problem — time travel. At six years old, Clare meets Henry, the future love of her life. Unbeknownst to her, he’s a time traveler who is actually visiting from the future. Some 14 years later, a beautiful redhead wanders into the library where Henry works. She claims to have known him all her life and to also be his future wife. From there, a magical romance ensues that is as sprawling and complicated as Henry’s attempts to explain his “condition”.
The first season of The Time Traveler’s Wife averaged a 0.03 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 223,000 viewers in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). It was a moderate performer in the traditional ratings and HBO didn’t tout its delayed or streaming numbers so that would seem to indicate that it wasn’t a big hit in those categories either.
“Though HBO will not be moving forward with a second season of The Time Traveler’s Wife, it was our privilege to partner with master storytellers Steven Moffat and David Nutter,” an HBO spokeswoman told Deadline. “We are so grateful for their passion, hard work, and care for adapting this beloved book. We also thank Theo and Rose, and the rest of our brilliant cast for their heartfelt performances, which completely captivated audiences.”
What do you think? Did you enjoy The Time Traveler’s Wife on HBO? Are you disappointed that it has been cancelled and won’t get a second season?
I am very disappointed!!! I hate watching a show, enjoying it and then boom THE END! No proper ending, it’s just over!
So sad. I was looking forward to season 2. Television & RL is loaded with “Doom and Gloom” and it was nice to actually see entertaining sci-fi. How often do you get to watch something that makes you think as much as The Time traveler’s wife? My aging brain will miss this exercise dearly!! Surely Netflix would have a time slot for this show. I’m sure “stranger things” wouldn’t mind!
Absolutely loved this adaptation of the classic book. The cast were all brillliant and really brought the book to life. Sad to see there wont be a second series as there is so much more to tell.
I’m VERY disappointed. I loved the movie and I really liked the different twist the series gave to the story! PLEASE RECONSIDER!! I hope another network can pick this series up and move forward!!!
Sorry to be the only negative comment here, but I read the book 1st, which I didn’t like that much. Both Theo james & Rose Leslie are good actors, but it was difficult for me to watch the child grooming aspect of this story. I usually love time travelling stories, but this one was all over the place. I felt dizzy, despite Theo having a nice body! The book made me even more dizzy!
I am VERY a disappointed! I really loved the show and wanted to see it continue!! Writing was excellent and the performances every bit as good! Shame on you HBO!
Ugh! So irritated with HBO… I’ve been checking to see when next episodes release and find out no season 2? WTF! Here’s to hoping #NETFLIX comes through for us again.
I agree canceling it is a big mistake… I loved it and told everyone it was a must see series. Very disappointed there is no season 2
I agree with the comment prior to mine….. the story is only halfway. HBO give the greenlight for Season 2….. huge mistake to cancel this show. It is an. amazing love story and which touches the heart….
