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?
I do not watch network TV much, but can’t miss Timeless
Renew Timeless, pretty please
Timeless is a phenomenal show with history wrapped in action and adventure. I am a history teacher and have enjoyed each show as has my wife. Please continge the story NBC.
Timeless is a show aptly named for its monumental worth on television. It is in fact timeless! Timeless is so well written, well acted, and well presented to the viewing audience. I love everything about it! I LOVE HISTORICAL SHOWS but they are usually all over the place with inaccuracies! One of my favorite things to do is to google search the historical facts presented by Lucy Preston (beautifully portrayed by Abigail Spencer) in every episode; and I have to say, the writers really put in the hard work of providing historical accuracy. I would like to thank the creators… Read more »
I LOVE Timeless!!! PLease renew this show – it’s truly one of the only good shows on TV these days!!!
The show is definitely a winner! Bring on Season Two!
I think the show is GREAT! The series is well written and produced. I hope NBC sees the potential in Timeless!
Enjoy the tv series and do not want it to be cancelled. Specially the 2 part of cliffhanger.
Omg! Our entire family look forward to Monday nights , only because of timeless! Please renew for season 2
It’s hard to find shows that have all the components that show has!
Fantastic show. We are really enjoying it. Renew!
Timeless is a unique, well-written and well-acted series that hooks the viewer, draws you in, makes you think, and makes you want more. It’s by far the best new show of 2016-2017. It would be shame if it’s not back for another season.
PLEASE RENEW TIMELESS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is my favorite show and I love everything about it. I’m also a big Lucy and Wyatt shipper. Just love them !
Timeless is awesome! We only got 15 episodes and with a cliffhanger like that, there are so many great storyline possibilities. Season 2 is a MUST! I’m also so tired of NBC canceling good shows after I’ve invested a whole season.
I love this show!!!
It wouldn’t surprise me that a show w/ a unique storyline would get canceled in favor of another freaking “Bachelor” or “Survivor”.
Please don’t give Timeless the axe.
