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?
Timeless, yea great show. Never cared about history that much, but has sparked and intest in history. Please keep it. One of my favorite showes. Please air it on prime time. I had to record it to watch it. thank God for dvdr’s. KEEP IT, KEEP IT.
Loved the show and I think it got stronger towards the end – most interest is in the characters and their lives as affected by the altered events. I also liked the level of historical accuracy. Don’t need every episode to be attached to a “famous” event or person however – the story of the characters is the hook.
Timeless is a refreshing new suspense drama that kept me tuned in every week. I wish there had been more episodes. It was wonderful seeing historical events come alive and done so well. The characters gel so well together. Please make a lot of viewers happy and renew the show.
Loved TIMELESS ! The content was historically accurate, family really enjoyed this series. The characters where awesome and really enjoyed the storylines.
Agreed!
We really like the series and its take on historical events. It would be a shame to cancel this intriguing program. Please renew. The show left us in limbo not knowing the next time trip would take the stars in history. We support many of the advertisers sponsoring the show. Don’t let it die as many of our previous shows have done.
This is a great show, and when I ask friends if they’re watching, they all say “yes”! I’m surprised to hear ratings have fallen off. I thought the episodes got better and better as the season progressed. And I love the characters. I hope Timeless is renewed!
I love this show. Nice to see something where rhe characters are trying to protect history instead of trying to change it. I love that they “dress” for the time frame and that Lucy gives us a snipet of the what was going on. I want a season 2!!!
This is a great show! Please renew this show.
Timeless is a great show. A lot of time has gone in to the character development and the plots. Every week there is some thing new and exciting. Please renew for a second season.
Love the show, please renew it with Garcia Flynn.
Love the show! And what a finale.
YES, YES definitely want season 2. Finally found a t.v. show that my whole family loves. Three households watching and discussing it when we talk and visit. Can’t wait for the next episode each week. We will all be so disappointed if it is cancelled. You can’t leave us all hanging.
I’m very sorry but Timeless Season 1 Finale ending on a Cliffhanger is a great twist, but I feel/think that NBC should accept Eric Kripke’s pitch for Season 2 deserves to come back and they should accept it/renew it sooner than later! Timeless is an awesome amazing fantastic super very cool TV Series/TV Show so YES My answer is to renew it for Season 2!!
Oh yeah! There definitely has to be a season 2! I wanna see what’s happened with Rufus’s girl, and how Lucy will cope knowing her mom’s one of the bad guys, and that by stopping Flynn killing the Rittenhouse members, she may have just helped Rittenhouse!
pllease do not cancel theNBC show Timeless. Theshowis a fascinating show. Iam homeless right nowandtheonly way I can watch it is on my Amazon account. I started watching it in a Homeless shelter and I am excited about the show. My others being on an other network but are also SciFi shows and unfortunatelly one really is ending iif not both of them. There comes a show once in a great while that is excellent and this one is one of those shows. Please keep it going. You left those of us watching in real suspense. Please do not orfan… Read more »
