You guys wanna get Rufus back, or what? NBC, which cancelled its Timeless TV show in the wake of an enormous season two finale cliffhanger, is bringing back the Lifeboat for one more trip through time. The Peacock Network announced today that it has ordered a two-part Timeless TV series finale, which is expected to air during the winter holidays. The #Clockblockers have prevailed against the malign forces of Rittenhouse, if in a smaller way than most had hoped.
An NBC action-adventure series, Timeless stars Abigail Spencer, Matt Lanter, Malcolm Barrett, Goran Višnjić, Paterson Joseph, Sakina Jaffrey, and Claudia Doumit. As the Time Team, their mission is to prevent the destruction of the world as we know it, by villains intent upon messing with the timeline. Susanna Thompson, Annie Wersching, and Michael Rady recur in season two as members of the nemesis organization, Rittenhouse. NBC officially cancelled Timeless last month. And that was the second cancellation. The time travel drama was also cancelled, then renewed following its first season on the network.
Cancelled TV Show Timeless Renewed for a Two-Part Series Finale
Fans, who style themselves “#Clockblockers,” have been rallying hard for a continuation of the Eric Kripke-Shawn Ryan drama, since prior to the season two finale. Recently, the Save Timeless team hired a helicopter (or ‘heliclockter’) to fly a banner over San Diego Comic-Con. (Footage is sideways.)

NBC RESHAPES HISTORY WITH TWO-PART ‘TIMELESS’ SERIES FINALE
The Time-Traveling Gang Get Back Together One Last Time for Holiday Television Event
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. – July 31, 2018 – Hey Clockblockers, your mission is complete!
NBC and Sony Pictures Television are collaborating on a two-part “Timeless” finale to air during the holidays, giving closure to the globetrotting series that has generated incredible viewer passion.
According to executive producers Shawn Ryan and Eric Kripke, audiences can expect the “Timeless” they know and love. A focus on the unsung and underrepresented people of history. And most importantly, one final emotional story for the Time Team.
“We’re excited to tell one final chapter to this incredible story,” said Lisa Katz, Co-President, Scripted Programming, NBC Entertainment. “A huge thank you to all – our cast, crew, producers and partners at Sony – who have worked so very hard, and to the fans who kept us on our toes and made sure we did our very best week after week.”
“While we wish we could’ve made another dozen seasons of ‘Timeless,’ this is the next best thing,” said Ryan and Kripke. “We’re thrilled to take the Lifeboat out for one last spin and bring closure to our story. The studio, network, cast and crew are all doing this for one reason only: the fans. Because they deserve it. Because the fans made this happen and we thank them for their passion, support and helicopters. So? You guys want to get Rufus back or what?”
The cast includes Abigail Spencer, Matt Lanter, Malcolm Barrett, Goran Višnjić, Paterson Joseph, Sakina Jaffrey and Claudia Doumit.
Shawn Ryan and Eric Kripke are the creators, writers and executive producers. Tom Smuts and Arika Lisanne Mittman are co-showrunners and executive producers. Don Kurt, Greg Beeman, John Davis, John Fox and Marney Hochman also executive produce.
“Timeless” is a production of Sony Pictures Television, Davis Entertainment, MiddKid Productions and Kripke Enterprises.
What do you think? Will you watch the Timeless TV series finale, this winter, on NBC? Will that be enough? Let us know, below.
I am Sad & Happy at the same time. I really wished USA NETWORK could have taken it on. I will miss the characters & storylines. This show had so much heart. That’s why I absolutely LOVED this show.
I am SAD & HAPPY @ the same time. But yes it is better than nothing. Was really hoping that TIMELESS would go to USA NETWORK. But thank goodness we can “SAVE RUFUS”. It will be like a Christmas Gift at least. I am going to miss TIMELESS. The characters & the stories. Both that I really loved. My heart feels a bit better.
thank god
Thank you, Thank you for at least giving us a two-parter for closure!! I wish there was a season three, but thank you so much for bringing everyone back for this season finale! I will definitely be watching! Can’t wait!
Of course I’ll watch it…and let’s hope the ratings are huge and cause somebody (Netflix, maybe?) to take another look at revival of the series…
Yes I will be watching, and so will be everyone else. They should continue the show. It is a great show. I am so tired coming home after working all day and the only thing on tv at night is cooking shows, games shows, and people who think they can sing. I want good entertainment.
Absolutely I will watch! Loved this program and so glad to hear all the loose ends will be tied up.
Irritating they keep producing remakes or other shows that are just horrible. Why can they not continue the best show? I love and am obsessed with this show. I hope a better network takes it on. This is absolutely absurd.
YES YES I will watch the 2 hour show! This is my favorite show and I was SO sad it was not renewed. This will at least give us some closure.
Thanks NBC & Sony for bringing back the Timeless team & the 2 hour series finale. I’ll be watching.
It was unconscionable that NBC wasn’t going to give us an appropriate conclusion to this fantastic series.
Hooray! Best news I’ve had in a while.
Yes. I watched it until it moved to Sundays.
Thank you for bringing it back – even to just put closure to Timeless. I have loved the series!
I am very excited! I will not miss this two part special. Thank you NBC, cast, crew and writers for doing this for us.
