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 is one of the very few tv shows I watch on a regular basis. I certainly hope it will be renewed for a second season.
Please keep Timeless. Best show on tv. I want a romance between Lucy and Wyatt. Loved the last episode. I want more!
We need a Season 2! Please, NBC! I’m a fan from Canada, I also just love your Law and Order SVU series…
My sons and I watch every episode of Timeless. We hope NBC brings it back. If not, perhaps Netflix can pick it up.
There isn’t much on TV to choose from that interests me anymore but this show did from the start. Perhaps the thought of going back in history is wishful thinking for me. Please renew for us who tire of Zombies, reality and crime shows!
I absolutely love ‘Timeless’. As a long-time fan of sci-fi – and the big daddy of all time stories Doctor Who – Timeless is a breath of fresh air, every episode leaving me looking forward to the next as a great backstory (or forward story) unfolds. It doesn’t preach down to me, nor insult my intelligence. The characters are believable, the production values are great – well done to all who make it and I can’t wait for Season 2.
“Timeless” seems to offer something for viewers of all ages. The history side of it appeals to many boomers such as myself while the younger stars provide a very contemporary feel. This is the only major network show I watch, so I hope it gets another chance. Some of the best TV series in history had unspectacular opening seasons.
Loved the concept. I thought the plot lines improved throughout season 1 and will be deeply disappointed if this series is cancelled.
My wife and I really enjoyed the show. Great characters and interesting story lines. Please renew it for another season!
Yes, I love “Timeless”, please renew it!
One of my favorite shows on tv today!!!
I anxiously await for Monday just to watch!! Please renew Season 2!!!
Great Series. Gives historical perspectives that I would not know otherwise.
Who knew one of al Capone`es brother was a federal agent. I did not know
the Heindenberg disaster anniversary was on my birthday.
I love this show
Best show seen in a long time that is clean and worth something to watch.
I very much think that you should renew “Timeless.” It is a great way to give children a chance to fall in love with history, like I did with “See It Now!” I have never before sent a request to preserve a program!
Excellent program with a compelling story line and great character development. I’m hoping NBC decides to stick by this show. The audience will grow. The writing and cast work out very well together. A definite two thumbs up.
