The first season of Timeless just ended last night, but what about season two? Recently, co-creator Shawn Ryan spoke with Deadline about plans for the future of the NBC TV series.
The action-adventure drama follows a history professor, a soldier, and a scientist as they travel through time to stop a mysterious criminal. The cast includes Abigail Spencer, Matt Lanter, Malcolm Barrett, Goran Visnjic, and Paterson Joseph.
In the interview, Ryan revealed the season one cliffhanger is meant to set up season two:
We had thought for awhile about what the best way was to give some closure for Season 1 while also setting us up for a new dynamic in Season 2. We wanted to bring Garcia Flynn’s journey to some kind of end, though I’m sure we’ll see more of him going forward. So while many people might see our Season 1 conclusion as a cliffhanger, we see it as a wrap-up of Season 1 and a launch point for Season 2.”
Later, he mentioned that he and co-creator Eric Kripke are pitching season two to NBC in April:
We are working on our overall plan for Season 2 right now and we’ll pitch it to NBC in April, so I’m reluctant to get too much into it because we’ll want to take a deep breath and evaluate the whole season before we commit to what we want to do in Season 2. What I can say is the current plan involves our heroes traveling to the past to stop history from being perverted and changed too much.”
As of now, NBC has not yet announced whether Timeless will be renewed or not. Currently, the series is part of an ongoing lawsuit and ratings have been on the decline since the series premiered in October.
What do you think? Are you a fan of Timeless? Do you want a second season?
We love Timeless!! Please, please, please renew it!!!! It deserves another season!!! We are enthralled every episode!! The characters are so well written; I find myself truly caring about them. There are so many trashy shows on tv – but Timeless is classy. Keep it classy, NBC. Keep Timeless!!!!!
Our family watches ONE network scheduled show-TIMELESS . Please give us more.
Yes, I love this show! Best show in a long time. Please, please do another season or ten, for that matter. This show has it all; humor, history (some little known facts), intrigue, and great acting. The characters are endearing and we already love and relate to them. The finale was fascinating and set up a second season beautifully. Please do not leave us dangling. Much more story begs to be told!!!
This show is fascinating and intriguing. I look forward to it each week. Please renew it.
We love Timeless! Please renew this awesome show. It’s so disappointing when really great, “thinking” shows are chopped and replaced by some reality show aimed at today’s practically illiterate viewership. Please, NBC, raise the bar, don’t lower it!
This is a show that has it all: entertainment, valid historical references, good plots and excellent actors. Timeless has to be renewed. We look forward to each episode.
