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.
This program is phenomenal! Our entire family watches. It has it all, history, pop culture, drama, suspense, action, the show is…..”Timeless”.
Fantastic show. Exciting. Never boring. Great actors. Please renew and give it a good time slot.
Timeless was an amazing show that I couldn’t get enough of. Huge fan of Goran Visjnic. He was just the right amount of evil. The historical factor and butterfly effect were phenomenal!!!! PLEASE bring back the show for season 2 and beyond!!!
My wife and I hope NBC renews Timeless. We love all the different historical settings and figures that drive the show. That plus the regular characters and plot make it a lot of fun to watch. We’ll be disappointed if it isn’t renewed.
We love Timeless. We watch it as a family with our two teen boys. Fun to see the different historical periods played out. Great discussions after. We all said it sort of reminds us of Doctor Who. Nice to have a show that isn’t doctors, lawyers or cops–None of which interest the teens. Please let’s have TV have more period pieces, more fantasy, more creativity!!!
Please bring back Timeless. It is a great show with great characters. It was one of the few shows I am attached to this season.
I beg you please, I can’t sleep or work I just think of ways to convince @NBCTimeless to #RenewTimeless. I just can’t help to believe that the ratings were wrong or off for some reason. And for me I only came aboard on the last few episodes. I really did not know about it until then and yes maybe because I had dropped watching the voice because it was just too much. Not that I did not love to watch Adam and Blake. But Timeless will have a very Loyal Fan Base and I am sure there are more that… Read more »
Please keep this show. It is so intelligently written, and incorporates history into each episode. Families can watch together, and each one learn history. Keep the show!!!
Please! Please renew this show!
Can’t believe they would cancel this series. It is so interesting the twists they use with real history. It has helped make me binge rested bin the events. I have even gone back to read more about an era at that time. It reminds me of Once upon a Time show and the twists they make on story book characters. Please renew this.
This is a fantastic programme my grand children learn so much history. How could you explain in school about al Capone the first coloured sherif Bass reeves The Alamo. It’s great I hope you continue Thank you for letting me air my views
Fun, engaging show – the whole family thoroughly enjoys it! Bring it back for another season!

We Love Timeless. It’s a great family show. The kids and I so looked forward to watching. It was both entertaining and educational. I can’t do anymore reality TV. Please Renew!! Give it a chance!!
