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.
Please do not cancel love the show!
Do not cancel! I love the history lessons, the cast & the show!
Loving this show,it smells long run all over it,
Its another Kripke masterpeace,so no wonder its so good 🙂 .
I predict 5+ seasons
I’m predicting 16 episodes. Then it will be gone. The ratings are dropping too fast. If the show finishes below a 1.2 live ratings average, it’s a goner.
I really am starting to enjoy this show! I really hope it makes it!
I love the show!
I love this show. Very fascinating and l love the characters. Please renew it NBC! I don’t always watch it the day it airs but I tend to watch it on HULU within a week. I worry that good shows like this will get canceled because the ratings may be lacking because on demand and services like HULU.
Hi!!! I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS SHOW!!! And the sixth episode hasn’t even came out yet! I really really hope there will be a season two. If not I will be BROKEN!! I think the plot is amazing and i cannot wait, they left on a great cliffhanger and it is driving me crazy. Thanks for letting me fangirl!
Love it!
10 episodes left.
I too love this show. I have always been fascinated with the concept of time travel. The fact that this show travels back in time to historical events is great. The mystery of what Goren Visnjic is trying to do and what or who is Rittenhouse is good also. I really hope this show doesn’t get cancelled.
I love this show. I stumbled on it from on demand and am waiting for a 6th episode. Please don’t cancel it.
I really love this show! Just started to tune in this week and got caught up in the episodes. I will set my DVR to record this episode if it helps the rating so the show won’t get canceled. I just love the idea of being able to travel in time and seeing all the great important characters they changed history today and what made America the country that it is now. NBC please keep this show and renew for 2nd season!!
The thing is that i´m watching in this show a lot of good effects and ideas. But the writting is lating a lot. We have a great ship there, but won´t work, the rhytme is being very slowly. they can not wait a thousands of seasons bc won´t be them. i just hope they move on with this matter fast, if not this should to be cancelled. Are not just the cases is the drama too what make a good series. I´m so tired of watch series where never happen anything between the main couple and suddenly are cancelled: Sleepy… Read more »
A villain jumping through time with a nuclear bomb? Really? I’m a SCI FI fan and hoped Timeless would replace my beloved Grimm. Darn! The characters are flat and unsympathetic. The costumes beautiful but they can’t make a poor plot shine. Why do I care about our heroes and what makes me want to tune in next week? Our heroes lack likeability, humor, and even stopping for a human moment like drinking a glass of wine. After 3 episodes, I’m out. Timeless seems to be a TimeWaster. Please bring back Grimm.
They *didn’t* take the nuclear bomb on the ship. They buried it in the desert and recovered it once they were in the present. I, too, love Grimm, but it’s worth giving this show more of a shot.
Once again a Time Tunnel ripoff, but more shows like this are needed. Last episode of the Time Tunnel lnvolved a disgruntled employee (played by Robert Duvall) who stole a bomb and was chased by Tony and Doug through three different time periods.If this show concentrated on how history was changed by what the time tracvleres did or did not do, it woud be much more interesting, such as in the first episode-with the female llead not having had a sister in the alternate time line, and the mother thriving health-wise wherein she had terminal cancer in the original time… Read more »
i LOVE this show! it’s a little clunky at times, but the storyline is fascinating, the acting is good and the characters definitely have potential for future expansion, should the writers be so inclined. i really hope it’s renewed for the second season!
