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?
Definitely will keep watching! NBC must renew this series!
One of only a few creative shows left on NBC! Grimm is ending and the network already has a heavy dose of reality TV. Please return it for season 2 and maybe move it to a 9pm slot. Give it a chance, great show!
I am on pins and needles! Can’t wait for this saga to continue!!!
Please keep the show for season 2! Love learning a little history while watching Timeless!!
Bring timeless back next season
RENEW
Please don’t cancel this show!! It’s the best show on tv!
Bring back the show. It’s interesting and it makes you think, unlike 80% on today.
I really like this show! Its intriguing for one and i love the different eras, clothing just all of it. A show without the filthy language fur once! Please renew it for a second season.
I love the show. I hate the “reality” shows that have absolutely nothing to do with the real world.
Don’t you mean climactically instead of climatically since it has to do with the climax of the show and not the climate?
I think it one of the few quality programs on tv.
I love the show!! It’s one of our favorites. We only watch NBC because of this show.
Please bring Timeless back. I love the premise, the characters, and the time periods they go to. Its one of only three network shows I still watch.
This is an entertaining as well as an enlightening show that brings the sy-fy element and brings forth real historical figures. Time period scenes and clothes makes for a delightful and engaging story.
