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.

Please renew!! Love this show!
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE renew this show. Our family watches this show every week. Historic references are great for kids!
This show is original and I love it. Please continue. There is so much room to go with this show.
I also love this show. It’s refreshing to see something different than the usual police or medical drama. It’s fun and exciting and I really hope it’s renewed.
I love this show – please renew!
I love this show. I would love to see a second season. Sure, there are plot holes – all time travel shows have them since time travel is impossible. However, it is still a great fantasy show.
Great show and there are no zombies roaming around. Like the history and the show takes on different places. Like the actors in it. A keeper
Last nights episode was the first one where I was actually kind of bored. HOWEVER, it was a bridge to what should be an awesome episode next week!
Still love the show!
Love the show. Please don’t cancel it!
I have been a fan of time travel shows as well as history. These are woven very well together. Most time travel shows are garbage this is not. Dont Cancel it Please!!!
Please DO NOT cancel Timeless!! PLEASE!!
My husband and I love Timeless, and certainly hope it will be renewed!
Please keep the show going. It’s a show the whole family can watch & I am surprised how many co-workers watch & enjoy it! It is a different show of science fiction and history all wrapped into one. Thanks for all the twists & turns in the story lines. LOVE it!
Our family watches Timeless every week. It is very well written, has a great cast, and is educational. Who could ask for anything more?! Please consider renewing the show. Thanks!
I like the history part. Abigail Spencer is just a horrible actress. Unfortunately, this is made worse by the dialogue she is given and the role she is playing.

The ratings are down considerably since the series was launched. I loved Time Tunnel when I was a kid – used to sneak down to the tv in the basement to watch past my bedtime. I wonder if it would stand up against… Read more »
Big Time Tunnel fan myself even though they only put out 30 episodes and lasted one season. It seems like the writers are clueless trying to make Garcia Flynn a multilayered character on a revenge trip against Rittenhouse insyead of your typical villain.
