Are you a big fan of Timeless? Recently, co-creator Shawn Ryan spoke with Deadline about a possible future for the cancelled NBC TV show.
The time-travel drama just aired its two-hour series finale on NBC on December 20th. The series, which was cancelled after two seasons this year, stars Matt Lanter, Abigail Spencer, and Malcolm Barrett.
In the interview, Timeless co-creator Shawn Ryan discussed what it was like filming the NBC series finale:
It was always a very difficult show to make, and this two-hour event was similar, but there was a lot of joy that went into making it. This was the most pleasant shooting experience that the cast and crew had at any point along the journey. So it was a really good experience for everyone, and so, as a result, it was kind of hard to end and to leave.”
And what about the future? Will Timeless ever return to the small screen? Ryan says he hopes it does:
I feel like the show has ended prematurely. I felt, especially in the second season, we really got into our groove creatively, and to NBC’s credit, they never had any issues with the creative. Listen, if I could choose my own path, it’d be great to be able to revisit the show every two or three years with a movie or a little four to six-episode arc. I would definitely be all in for that. We know the realities when you don’t have the actors under contract. All the actors love doing this, and if we were able to figure out the scheduling for this and maybe we’d be able to do it.
What do you think? Are you a fan of Timeless? Were you satisfied with the series finale?
It seems like every time there’s an interesting show, it gets cancelled. I loved watching Timeless. Really makes you think about things. Please bring it back. Will definitely miss it.
I loved EVERYTHING about the finale EXCEPT that it was the FINALE. I hope that somebody pics up the ball after NBC lost its mind and cancelled this show.
My favorite show was Timeless. I love the show with all of the history data. And the cast is fantastic.
I loved this show❤ and i really do hope that theres a future for this awesome show❤
I love this show. Was furious when I heard NBC would be cancelling it. Why would they cancel something so smart and entertaining? I watched the 2 hour finale with sadness, knowing that this was the end.

Why do all the best shows get cancelled
Loved the show..hated to see it end and I wish they would bring it back..”NBC made A mistake canceling this jewel……..

loved the finale!! want more, more and more of it. best show ever and you get info on all the places they go to!!!children love that!!!
It’s a shame that a show that is so creative and interesting is being cancelled, while mind numbing junk continues to be aired week after week, season after season! Shame on you NBC.
I agree Richard. This was a family show. I guess if you are not rolling around in the bed half nude you get cancelled
I would love to see it continue. Although I have seen the finale .I love the show
I love this show. Why did it stop?
I love Timeless and I wish they could continue. It’s interesting and the acting is excellent! Once again, a great show gets taken off the air.
It was just OK. A little disappointed. Wanted a little more action and drama for a Finale…..
Typical NBC! They always cancel good series… Timeless and Revolution! I usually don’t watch anything on NBC, but Timeless was too good to pass up. Disappointing!!! Two hour ending was excellent but sad!!
Blame it on the neilsen live viewers. They only watch occupational/real life dramas live. Very disappointing, that good shows rely on that service.
No, live viewers don’t. The reality is that reality/unscripted mindless shows are CHEAP to produce and that’s why the networks shove them down out throats. And if shows fail to produce blockbuster ratings instantly the morons who run the broadcast networks are quick to move on leaving loyal viewers in the lurch. Such a shame
