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?

I love Timeless!! Please do not cancel the shiw
I completely agree with ALL the POSITIVE comments posted. LOVE the show and all characters. Great crew and camaraderie! RENEW
Watching Timeless from Ireland, love the fighting and bonding between the team and their changing relationship with Flynn. It’s both hilarious at times and unexpected, you never quite know what is going to happen. The dynamic of the three main characters work together, and the actors really are giving it their best, taking their roles seriously. The whole concept is intriquing, and it’s a pleasure to see the different time periods being recreated. My favourite part though is watching the team interact with each other on the various trips, and how they see Flynn who manages to convey a continues… Read more »
The reality is that after the brilliant twist of the Hindenburg in the first episode, it has been downhill. The only impressive thing left is creating the various time periods.

Renew, far too often decent shows are cancelled, when crap shows are constantly renewed
Love this series. It’s smart & teaches us things about history that is so interesting. Before hidden figures even came out Timeless had an episode about a black woman in our space program, It was an amazing show. Please NBC give us a season 2!!!
Please renew the show I love it so much I’m 15 and I love the show it teaches teens my age history and we get to see time machines and everyone loves this show
I love the show and the historical references made that I never knew about. Especially about the “murder” hotel and the launch, which now has a whole movie about it (hidden figures). If I were a history teacher, I would assign this TV show as a homework assignment. After every episode, I google all the history references in the show and learn things I never knew.
