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?
One of the few shows that I look forward to each week. The people from history that they interact with, are given some dimensions to them more than just what we learned in school.
Definitely need Season 2. This is the best new show of the year for sure!
Please don’t cancel this show! I LOVE it. I am Looking forward to the second season.
Definitely want a 2nd season Timeless is a fantastic show
This show was fantastic and a great family show!!!! Please renew!!
Love this show, my favourite new show by far. Bring it back!
A crossover with the legends of tomorrow would be great for the season two.
please continue the series.
Please renew the show. I love history an this show is awesome. I also look forward to watching the show each week.
Please renew Timeless-Fantastic show.
Love the show, please renew!
I’d like to see the formula tweaked a bit. Get lost in time, travel to the age of cave men, be actors in Gone With The Wind (or another old movie) and actually watch themselves in it in the present,
Love this show. One of the only shows image look forward to every week!!!!!! We can’t watch live due to work schedule but never miss an episode. Would watch them again and again! Great characters!
Please renew. And what was the deal with the Golden Gate Bridge looking like the world was destroy
No, it looked like she was affected by the time travel (a good premise to adding her to season 2!) Also, it looked like part of her was ‘back in time’, as in the bridge was just being built. 1800’s??
MORE TIMELESS MORE TIMELESS MORE TIMELESS MORE TIMELESS!!!!!
