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: 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.

im tired of nielson ratings being the only thing that determines whether a show is cancelled or not. I’ve seen alot of good shows yanked for stupid ones. example why iare the bachelor and bacherlette even close to staying on air?or suvivor?
Totally agree!!
Very interesting show with many subplots. Touches on many truths that most history books don’t have….. Keep it going!
Very interesting show with courageous revealing scripts. Not enough people have noticed the show yet.
Very very unique show that covers some true history about globalists and their control over history and money. Definitely not only a science fiction tv series. Gutsy scripts that not enough people notice.
Very very unique show. Not only is there time travel science fiction, but something else is in the series that I have only seen on YouTube up to this point. This tv show has the courage to reveal the extreme dangers that the secret globalists and bank steers (play on gangsters) have imposed on our society. Also, how these nasty wealthy groups have twisted history in the last 300 years is occasionally covered. Gutsy show that not enough people notice.
5 more episodes and this show is finished. I can’t wait.
yet you know there are 5 more shows and i’m sure you’ll watch them. Some NOT fan you are
So many possibilities for this show….so much history. Please keep it going.
Great show. 52 year old male here and I enjoy this show. Please give it a chance and renew it for eason 2.
I really enjoy the show. I was excited that it was airing a new episode after the holidays. I have googled some of the historical information that is featured in the storyline because it is just so interesting. Please don’t cancel the show.
I really enjoy this show and it’s really interesting with different takes on history, love history, really like this show
I really enjoy Timeless! Look forward to every show. I think the writers have come up with Great Story Lines incorporating historical facts. Brilliant!! The actors are fantastic. The range of emotions and depth of feeling they show is impressive. Please renew for many more seasons.
I am liking Timeless so far. It is quite unique compared to shows with a similar “set in the past” theme. It has a huge attention to detail both in the writing and costumes. I am not sure how long they could really keep spinning the story for without it getting stale, but i for one would very much like to see Timeless renewed for at least a second season. Although if i am being honest, i cannot see it needing any more than three seasons at most. Compared to some of the other drivel on television at the moment… Read more »
This is a tremendous series! We are anxiously awaiting Season 2!
I love Timeless and look forward to watching it each week – I truly hope that it will not be cancelled!
I love this series! Entertaining, but also educational. Good mix of funny and dramatic. Great storylines and so much potential for more. I’m Australian and seriously hoping it will be picked up by the networks at home so I can watch it when I get back. My friends also love it. Needs more promotion and I think it could take off. It’s one of those series that will take a while to take off, but I really think NBC would be crazy not to renew it. And if they don’t, I hope one of the other networks does.
