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: 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.
Love this show hoping for a second season!!!
Love This show. I watch it every week and wait for it. Love it. I watch it at least 4 or 5 times during the week on Hulu too. It’s got so much energy. Love the characters and especially the humor. Such a cute show. I like all the history changes and costume changes. This show has actually made me look up the actual events when I watch. I never considered even looking into the different historical events until this show. It’s the only show I watch on NBC. Thank you so much. I can’t wait to see season 2!
Keep it going it’s a clever show. I like it!
I love Timeless. The characters are great. I hope it returns next year!
Comparing Timeless to Downton Abbey – really? This is a soft show with a somewhat obnoxious Abigal Spencer whining about not changing history but constantly insisting her sister needs to come back. Can’t be mixing up the timeline for some and not for others. That being said, it did get less puerile a few episodes later. My husband and I love science fiction so we often hang in longer than we ought to. I know they increased the number of episodes from 13 to 16, but I have a feeling there will likely only be one season. I still fondly… Read more »
This is as much of a “must see” every week as Dowton Abbey was for me. A highlite of my week. Would love to see more seasons.
I look forward to this show every week. I’m fascinated by the history brought to life in each episode. Great show!
I’ve really been enjoying it, particularly all the history. Please renew it!
I love this show, please renew it.
Renew it!!
My husband and I absolutely love this show MUST be a second season. Timeless is one of very few shows that my husband and I enjoy watching together. It’s amazing! There better be more than one season
Renew it. Its the only reason to watch NBC.
This is the only drama I watch on network television period. I do enjoy the premise of traveling back in time to preserve history. Unfortunately the dropping ratings are due to a few factors… way too repetitive. The most imaginative episode to date was 1754. It started with them in the past, had real suspense about whether or not they would make it back and most notably had very little of Flynn. The parts I hate…Flynn in general. Just shoot him in the face and be done with him and use the time machine for more than just always being… Read more »
