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.

Let’s hope someone comes to their senses as far as this ridiculous lawsuit goes….Timeless is amazing. I especially love the way it has progressed – GREAT STORIES! Great acting. PLEASE keep it going!
I love this show. The time jumps have been great. Costumes, period references. GREAT. Love the characters and their fierce loyalty to each other. Please do not cancel it. Give it a better lead in next season.
Watched the first show and got hooked, taped many so not to miss. Hope the show will continue with Season 2. Timeless and This is Us are the best shows to come along in years.
I really like this show. I do want it to have a second(and more )season. It is very entertaining and enjoying to watch. I look forward to the next show. Renew the series, please. We need more shows like TIMELESS,
entertaining with history evolved. RENEW it!
My husband and I love watching this show together! Please renew the series for season two.
I hope Timeless gets renewed. It’s an interesting show with so many possibilities for some great future storylines! I also enjoy the fact that it’s in a rather unique niche compared to most of what network tv currently offers.
