Tonight, NBC’s Timeless TV show finishes its first season. While the writers clearly have plans for a second season, NBC may not. The peacock network has yet to renew the series for season two but, they haven’t cancelled Timeless either. Will it be back for the 2017-18 season? Should NBC renew it? Would you watch?
An action-adventure series, Timeless begins as a mysterious criminal (Goran Visnjic) steals a secret state-of-the-art time machine, intent on destroying America by changing the past. The country’s only hope is an unexpected team of a history professor (Abigail Spencer), a soldier (Matt Lanter), and a scientist (Malcolm Barrett) as they embark on the adventure of a lifetime to stop the villain. The rest of the cast includes Paterson Joseph, Sakina Jaffrey and Claudia Doumit.
Airing on Monday nights, NBC gave Timeless a solid timeslot, following their biggest TV series, The Voice. The series premiered on October 3, 2016 and drew a 1.83 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 7.60 million viewers. While those are good numbers, the network was likely disappointed that they weren’t higher — especially when the trailer attracted nearly 300 million views.
In week two, Timeless’ ratings dropped 22% in the demo and 18% in viewers. The numbers have been up and down since then but they’ve been trending downward. Recent episodes have dipped below a 0.70 demo rating and have drawn fewer than three million viewers. That’s not a good sign for an expensive drama that’s airing on a major network.
NBC may renew Timeless for a second season but it seems far more likely that they’ll cancel it and hope that their next post-Voice series brings in big ratings like The Blacklist once did.
But, what do you think? Should Timeless be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Would you watch season two or, are 16 episodes enough?
such a good show please don’t cancel
Please renew. There is so much more to tell.
YOU HAVE TO RENEW IT WE LOVE IT
the smartest best written show in years !!! I just discovered it on “Demand Cable” there are many more just like me ! BRING ON SEASON TWO !
PLEASE renew Timeless!!
Renew. There are so much haven’t been developed yet.
I ABSOLUTELY would enjoy watching more seasons of this show. I love it and the characters. There are way to many Drama and Detective and reality shows and not enough shows that require a bit of imagination . Please Renew this show.
Great intelligent show!! Hope they can somehow FIX the broken History by saving the rogue agents family so he never turns evil……?
Renew!!!
Please renew Timeless! I have enjoyed every episode and am looking forward to Season 2. Please…….
I do not really have a good English. But i love this show and it teach you the history of the world in which we live. So yes i want another season of Timeless
PS: Thank you Google Translate
Great show. Please don’t cancel Ztyfy
Timeless is great. Couldn’t wait for next episode. I loved The Time Tunnel from the 60’s and this is definitely in the same league, with a lot of modern series updating of course. Mythology propels the serialization while each episode still has self-contained fun. NBC should move it to Friday now that Grimm is ending.
Yes, Timeless should be renewed…I wouldn’t cry if it were cancelled, as I will for Grimm, and did for Harry’s Law (which is not available ANYWHERE that I can find!), but I do enjoy it and do DVR it as a matter of course…”Any Day, Any Time” so I can watch it whenever I want.
I hope NBC will not cancel this show. One of my favorites.
Timeless is a wonderful show. One of the best shows on TV. Without a doubt, it deserves a 2nd season.
