Like FOX and ABC, NBC has ordered their own time-travel series called Timeless, The Wrap reports.
The network has also given a 2016-17 series order to new comedy Marlon and the supernatural drama Midnight, Texas.
From NBC:
From Eric Kripke, Shawn Ryan and the producers of “The Blacklist” comes this thrilling action-adventure series in which a mysterious criminal steals a secret state-of-the-art time machine, intent on destroying America as we know it by changing the past. Our only hope is an unexpected team: a scientist, soldier and history professor who must use the machine’s prototype to travel back in time to critical events. While they must make every effort not to affect the past themselves, they must also stay one step ahead of this dangerous fugitive. Can this handpicked team uncover the mystery behind it all and end his destruction before it’s too late?”
Abigail Spencer, Matt Lanter, Malcolm Barrett, Goran Visnjic, Paterson Joseph, Sakina Jaffrey and Claudia Doumit will star.

What do you think? Are you a fan of time-travel series? Will you watch Timeless?
We enjoyed Timeless, Something historically new and creative for us to watch. How could any one shout this series down after one season. l guess there wasn’t enough blood and guts or even zombies in the script . Shame Shame.
Finally a clean, family-friendly tv show that has substance and good history lessons all in one! Please keep this show alive.
The concept is poor to say the least. Didn’t bill & Ted teach us anything?
Guy steals time machine, use second time machine to chase said guy through history? Hell no.
Go back ten minutes before first machine is stolen and break it/arrest guy. All fixed, end of series.
So I’ll not be bothering with this.
Out of the three time traveling series that got picked up as series orders, Timeless is the most promising show I’ve ever seen because of the concept and I like the creative duo of Eric Kripke and Shawn Ryan.
