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.
NBC should renew Timeless. It is a great show with good writers and amazing chemistry among the cast. It had a good following that can continue to grow if given the opportunity to return for more seasons.
I really am enjoying Timeless and hope it is renewed for a second season.
If the show is cancelled, so many questions will remain unanswered. Keep it on the air.
Renew!! Love this show and watch it with my son
I love this show…do not understand the ratings you show….you have very young people…they are not going to watch shows about HISTORY or whatever….
Sadly, the target demo is the 18-49 group, which is considered to have the most purchasing power and therefore is the most important group for advertisers. And aired commercials are what gets the networks the money. What most of these people don’t take into consideration is the demographic and lifestyle change. Most people who really have the money to spend on the advertised products are those who are 30+, those who have steady jobs, a steady life after school/university, so the also measured but not considered demo of 25-54 would be more realistic. For Timeless for example the early rating… Read more »
Please let it go for another season. I love it this is something that me and my teens can watch together. We are history buffs so it is fun to see when and where they are, and what’s going to change. I hope they take in the effect of hulu because if we miss one we catch it on there. Great show.
Please have another season. I love this show it is one of the few things that me and my teens can enjoy together. We are history buffs so it is so fun for us to see who guesses where they are going in the next episode, and how it works out.
Timeless is fantastic! I watch it on Hulu, and it doesn’t appear that those ratings are included in the data listed here. I look forward to this show every week. It’s one of the only new dramas that hasn’t lost my attention. Every episode I find myself googling some piece of history that the show has brought to my attention, and I know I’m not the only one. It’s opening a whole new interest in history. Please renew!
No, the ratings shown above only include live watching. Those who watch on Hulu or online on the NBC site aren’t included.
Would definitely urge renewal for timeless. Series is exciting. Different,and well written. Series finale lived up to everything the series has going for it. Please, please renew!7
PLEASE RENEW. I loooove this show
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE renew Timeless, it’s one of the best programmes on TV we watch in the U.K. And sit down as a family to watch it. Our 9 year old son thinks about where it’s going to go after each episode, what time they will go back to.
It’s educational as well and have found ourselves googling some of the charactors that we have met in our timeless travels.
Please NBC and Sony please make another series, you will make a 9 year old boy in the U.K. Very very happy.
I hope this is renewed. I looked forward to it every week. Found it very interesting.
Loved Timeless! Please renew!
I hope they renew this. It turned out to be a pretty good show!
Please, please, pleases renew. I thoroughly enjoy the story plot as well as incorporating history into it. Awesome show.
