Once again, NBC is launching a new TV show in the timeslot following The Voice. While the ratings are always very positive in the beginning, the numbers frequently plunge once the series is moved to another night. Some of these shows have been renewed, some have been cancelled. Will Timeless see a second season? Stay tuned.
An action-adventure series, Timeless begins as a mysterious criminal (Goran Visnjic) steals a secret state-of-the-art time machine, intent on destroying America by changing the past. The country’s only hope is an unexpected team of a history professor (Abigail Spencer), a soldier (Matt Lanter), and a scientist (Malcolm Barrett) as they embark on the adventure of a lifetime to stop the villain. The rest of the cast includes Paterson Joseph, Sakina Jaffrey and Claudia Doumit.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like the Timeless TV series? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
5/13 update: NBC reversed their decision to cancel Timeless and renewed the series for a second season. Details here.
It had the Voice as a lead in and the ratings were pathetic. Now it will have The Apprentice as a lead in. I expect the ratings to continue to drop, and I expect it to be cancelled. I can’t wait.
This show has been great for my son as he’s currently taking AP History. The things he’s learning now are fun to see in action every week. The show has great chemistry between the characters, and I love the special effects. Like someone else said earlier, why is it that the crappy shows get renewed and the good ones like this, get cancelled? Please bring it back for a 2nd season!
One of the best things about Timeless is the reenactment of the events. It’s like learning about it all over again in a compelling way. It’s so easy to forget that it’s only a tv show and will certainly inspire the younger ones to want to know more, which is great.
When I heard about this show I lost it. I need there to be a second season and so on. You all did a great job with combining history with action entertainment. I watched the first season in two days! Plus, you can’t end it like how you did and not tell us what happens next. I hope to see a second season soon!
U realize the show still has six episodes to go right. What you are talking about is the mid season finale, so there is still much more to,come.
Please don’t cancel Timeless my wife and I love this show! We found it on demand and watched the whole 1st season in a day and a half. Every time we find a decent show it gets canceled. Y does it seem like the crap stays and the good shows go?
This is the best show ever time travel history good looking people Don’t Cancel Please
As a history buff who has always been interested in time travel, I say please renew this show

Timeless should be renewed. Interesting approach to history with making us aware of potential changes in outcomes and consequences. Should help us look at current events more critically.
Love love love this show!!! Trying to find if is coming back!
Seriously you’re going to keep Superstore and The Good Place over Timeless??? Timeless is much more family oriented as well as providing history lessons along with suspense.. Superstore and The Good Place need to be cancelled. They are terrible shows
Please do not cancel this show. There are so few shows that I can watch with my 13 yr old daughters and there is a great deal of history they are learning along with all of the sci-fi suspense. Please keep it going.
I started watching this show just this past weekend through my on demand with xfinity and i finished the 1st season in 2 days i was completley hooked! This show is so well done and i love that it is one i could watch with my child in the room. There has to be a 2nd season please!!!!!
Please don’t cancel this show . It is really well done and entertaining plus somewhat educational.
You canceled another series awhile back revolution. I loved that series and you dropped it .
Timeless needs a chance.
