What’s next for Timeless? Recently, creators Shawn Ryan and Eric Kripke spoke with Blastr about the season one finale of the NBC TV series.
The action-adventure drama follows a history professor, a soldier, and a scientist as they travel through time to stop a mysterious criminal. The cast includes Abigail Spencer, Matt Lanter, Malcolm Barrett, Goran Visnjic, and Paterson Joseph.
In the interview, Kripke teased “mind-bending new twists” for the season one finale:
Our team heads into 1954 and Joseph McCarthy/Red Scare Washington to climatically face down both Flynn and Rittenhouse once and for all. It’s a finale that doesn’t pull its punches. It’s a finale that really wraps up a lot of emotional character and plot issues that have been playing out all season. Big momentous things happen all throughout the episode. And then on top of that we ask a whole bunch of new questions and have a whole bunch of mind-bending new twists that will take us into Season 2.”
Ryan later mentioned that the finale will have some satisfying closure:
We put a lot of balls up in the air and it was important to us to try to really give a very satisfying conclusion to the season to our audience. So, while some new questions will be raised and some things will happen that will make you go, ‘Well, geez, what’s going to happen now in Season 2,’ I think we just endeavored very hard to give the audience what they want.”
NBC has not yet announced whether or not Timeless will be renewed for a second season. Currently, the series is part of an ongoing lawsuit and ratings have been on the decline since the series premiered in October.
The season one finale of Timeless airs tonight, February 20th, at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
What do you think? Do you watch Timeless? Do you want a second season?
They better keep this cool show. ABC and the nonsense of bringing time after time out was total BS.
Love show- please renew it! Can’t wait to see that machine go to the future- you know it can , hence Lucy book given by Flynn saying she ages well! Cmon guys! Season 2 – bring it on!!!! PLEASE
I really like timeless. Great fun to watch as I am sci fi fan.. Please renew.
Yes, this show was one of the best new dramas this season. Entertaining for both SciFi and History loving audiences! Great teasers for a season two and hopefully beyond. Please bring it back!!!
Excellent family show, something for the teenager to grandma, gets us talking about history. The ratings are false, our family of 4 watches every week! Please renew smart television, and this is an excellent show!
Yes, I really enjoy Timeless. It’s a great show and concept. One can. Also learn a lot about history. Please please please renew it for a second season
Please renew it for a season two. Terrific show & the acting is so good!
I hope they renew it because it’s a great show.
Renew it for a second season so we can out how things go.
We can find out I meant
Please renew! We love watching this show
Great show! Please renew.
Every time I find a show that I love it gets cancelled. Please don’t cancel Timeless. It is a great family show.
Finally, a show that has an interesting story line and is NOT an inane stupid comedy. The characters are likable and make you want to see them succeed in their mission. Keep this show, there is only one other show on this channel that is worth watching, (Blindspot) and they could be the beginning of a major ratings coup for the network.
Please keep Timeless. We enjoy the show. The season finale was a wonderful ending and leaves me wanting more
Timeless is currently my only “must-watch TV”. PLEASE RENEW!!!! It’s a brilliant show!
