The networks are big on time travel this season. The Timeless drama series premiered on NBC in October of 2016, but the ratings have been disappointing, and it may well be cancelled. On March 5th, FOX debuted the sitcom Making History — the very same night Time After Time premiere on ABC. When will we find out which will be cancelled or renewed for a second season? It’s just a matter of time.
An hourlong drama, Time After Time stars Freddie Stroma, Josh Bowman, Génesis Rodríguez, Nicole Ari Parker, Will Chase, Jordan Sparks, and Jennifer Ferrin. The ABC series follows the young H.G. Wells (Stroma) and his journey via his incredible time machine. Wells is in hot pursuit of the brilliant and engaging surgeon, Dr. John Stevenson (Bowman), a.k.a. “Jack the Ripper.” It is in present-day New York City that he meets philanthropist Vanessa Anders. She is the current owner of Wells’ time machine and may also be his great-granddaughter. Assistant museum curator Jane Walker (Rodríguez) joins Wells on his dangerous search for the man now known as “The Key Killer.”
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
3/29 update: ABC has essentially cancelled Time After Time and pulled it from the schedule. Details here.

Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Have you been watching the Time After Time TV series on ABC? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Please renew! This show is great! Networks keep on crap shows like the Kardashians or The View, yet cancel good entertainment with real content. These shows never even get a chance.
Please renew!!!!!
Wow, another good show cancelled. You never give a reasonable time to get viewers hooked, like me. I looked forward to it every week. I personally loved it. I have a question for the people responsible for this. Do you count DVR? I watch so many great shows, but can’t always watch them when they first air, so I DVR and catch up on the weekends. Denise
I’ve been watching Time After Time and look forward to it each week. I am very disappointed that it might be canceled. Please do not cancel this series
I’m disappointed that Time after Time has been cancelled. I watch very little tv, and this is a show that has been enjoyable. To be replaced by a gameshow-yuch.
I think time after time is brilliant p lease renew it i love it. Josh Bowman is a very brilliant jack the ripper.
I think they should give Time After Time a chance stop canceling new shows give it time it’s different interesting cast very well..I actually really really enjoy it.
GIVE IT A CHANCE PLEASE!!!!!
Oh My God! ABC, please please give this show a chance. I love Madame Secretary, so I record it, because I look forward to Time After Time more. I talk it up to all my family, friends and passengers. (I fly for a major airline.)
The movie is still one of my favorites. The cast of this show is outstanding, the writing is terrific, the story is timeless. No pun intended. This show is provocative. One more police show or reality show I may just stop watching tv altogether.
Renew please ABC
Im shocked they havent pulled this yet…re-runs of another show would grab them better ratings at this point!
Jack the Ripper outsmarting ‘modern’ law enforcement techniques, surveillance cameras on the streets, GPS, surveillance drones, S.W.A.T., POLICE HELICOPTERS and so on?!
Great show. My family and friends all watch it! Keep it on the air!
They never give shows time to grow
Bored after 1st hr. of 2hr beginning. Bye -bye.
I would renew the show want see where they going with this show . It’s looks like a great show .
It won’t be renewed for next season with atrocious ratings like this. This isn’t the CW.
I think that it should be renewed for next year!!!
