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?

We enjoy the show. Entertaining, somewhat educational and a good story line. Please renew. A good family show.
The show show continue foreading several seasons.
My husband and I really enjoy Timeless…different than anything else on right now! Please renew for season 2!
I understand ratings are important but Timeless is one of the few shows whose focus isn’t sex, bad language or risqué relations. It was refreshing to learn history while following an intriguing spy story. I’ve grown attached to the characters and hope you’ll give it a chance with a second season. Please don’t cancel Timeless!
I LOVE Timeless! My grandsons ,age 9 and 11, love it too. They get a history lesson with every episode. We really like Wyatt as a good guy because we have heard that he is a good guy in real life. NBC has been taken of our Dish TV so we might have missed an episode. I hope this problem is resolved very soon!
Timeless one of my favorite shows!!! Want it back for many more seasons!
Timeless is great! We love the cast and how the scripts accurately embody historical events. Please renew!
I enjoy the show and really hope it comes back for a second season.
I really love this show with it’s distinctive story line and with the historical perspective/facts woven in. I really hope it will be renewed, would really be disappointed if it is not.
Love Timeless please don’t cancel !!!
I love, love, love this show. I usually have to tape it and watch it later but my 15 yr old son loves this show as well and we spend the time together watching “our show”. It is so interesting and fun to watch. My son talks about the interesting history facts that we did not know about. Please keep the seasons coming!!!!
I just love this show and will be so disappointed if NBC gives up on one of the best quality programs of the season. Bring it back!!!
