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.
Love Love Love this show! The characters, the weekly adventures. So Fun!!!
NBC’S “Timeless”, is an excellent show. It’s imaginative, teachers American history in a captivating sci-fi format. And the acting is extremely good. Especially the development of the characters and their growing loyalty to one another. My whole family and I sincerely hope that NBC will renew this great show for a full season!
One of my favorite shows@
I really like this show! I watch it in Italy, we are only at episode n. 4 but I hope there will be a season n.2. I don`t know much about American history but I enjoy the show as well.
Great show. As schools and universities tend not to teach civics and US history this is a great show for teens and young adults.
This is an excellent show. WATCH and keep this mind bender exciting series alive! History buffs unite!
Hopefully, the NBC brass will see the love for Timeless in the comments here. Terrific show. Very popular with my 9 and 14 year olds. Adventure, special effects, romance, healthy doses of history education, all wrapped up in a nice sci-fi package make this a wonderful show that we hope gets rewarded with a Season 2. PS…we often watch it via Hulu.
Great show utilizating history with a SCI FI spin. My family love the show and hope for continued seasons
Renew !!!!!! Omg I love this show!!! Seriously I have to know what happens next and I love love all the characters they are perfect for the roles ❤
We love this show it always leaves us anxious for the next episode. Finally a show that we all love to watch,please don’t end this show! It would be a complete let down and lots of unanswered questions that we find ourselves talking about with anticipation.
I truly hope the show is renewed. The chemistry between cast members can only get better. The butterfly effect creates a really interesting twist. The writing is excellent. It leaves you with great lines such as Davy Crockett explaining how sometimes you just need to believe. Keeping my fingers crossed.
PLEASE RENEW THIS SHOW!!!! WE LOVE IT AT OUR HOUSE!
Please keep this show coming! I enjoy the simultaneous future and past mash-up. Refreshing and different from other fare!
I love learning about history and this show has taught me so much! It finds unique facts throughout history and incorporates it into the show. I always find myself googling scenes from the show to see if it really happened and it always checks out. I have recommend this show to almost everyone I know. I love this show and hope there will be a season 2 and then some!
Love this show. Clean, tastefully done.
Suspense, can’t wait for the next week.
For those of us looking for something that doesn’t have dirty words every 3rd syllable or sexual innuendos every dialogue–this is perfect and needs to be renewed.
