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.
I love Timeless! My husband and I watch all of he episodes. Not live but we watch the DVR episodes. Please don’t cancel it. The historical information is so interesting and we love the characters.
Please keep this show!! Our whole family watches it religiously. It’s smart, interesting, witty and wholesome.
Even your 12yr old son loves it.
We love Timeless! Please keep it! We watch it every week. Finally, an intelligent show.
Timeless is a wonderful show. Please let us see a second season!
Keep Timeless!! Very good show!!!!
What a great show holds my attention for the full hour
Do u know how many people i know in my country (Serbia) that are watching this show? Its very popular her and it has maximum rating , its just the problem that small amount of people her is watching it live, we all watch it like 2 or 3 days later. On every serbian site for watching series online in my country every rating is like maximum, five stars, and comments are very positive. Dont give up and make even more better story in 2 season with many more twists. 😉 (sorry for my english)
Love this show! There are a lot more stories to tell, so I’d love to see them all back for a season 2.
My husband and I look forward to watching timeless every week(dvr it) please keep it for a second season
Despite only being about 10 episodes in (downside of living in the UK), my daughter and I both love the show. She’s studying history and is constantly pointing out the things she has learnt in school
Absolutely love this show!!! It is a great show. The time slot at 10 makes it hard to watch live. I dvr it and watch it the next day or day after. This show is way better than several on the network right now. It would be disappointing to see it cancel when it has great potential
Great show with large twists and surprises every week. This show just requires a second season to really take off. Please also add more international sensational historic events. Example – Napoleon’s retreat from Moscow or Napoleon’s occupation of Rome or occupation of Cairo. Napoleon’s soldiers were using the Sphinx for recreational target practice. When Napoleon entered Rome it only had a population of 30,000 while at the empire’s peak it was almost 2 million. Plenty of empty ruins to run an interesting show in. Timeless has limitless possibilities. If I had the money I would buy this show and run… Read more »
If baby boomers are the ones watching this, then it needs to go. This isn’t CBS. The ratings are down to a 1.12, barely above what Mysteries of Laura did in its 2nd season. By next week, it will be BELOW that This show had THE VOICE as its lead in for the fall. What would it have done in Blindspot’s Wednesday 8 pm eastern standard time slot? Worse than Pitch(which should also be cancelled)? Next week should be it.
Please keep Timeless. It’s a perfect mix of History mystery of humor. I’m not able to watch show live but I always make sure I record it and watch it the next morning
PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL! Do any of the network bigwigs think beyond the end of their noses? There are millions of us outside of the 18-49 demographic. We are a household of four women, of whom only one is within that range and she is the only one of us who DOES NOT watch Timeless religiously. The rest of us are 49, 68 and 69 and are all three long-time fans of Supernatural. We love the whole idea and implementation of it in Timeless. Please give it time and think about your huge audience of baby boomers!
