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 like shows with ensemble casts and this one does a great job. I like that the history unearthed is unusual and not readily known, like the mention of the women who helped launch us to the moon. The characters are believable and makes you very curious about time travel and how past events shape or reshape the future,
We love the show, please give us season 2
Please don’t renew this show.
Finally a show for adults to watch. Interesting and shows history. Really would like it to come back next season.
Enjoyed this show from start to end of season. I hope they bring it back !
This show is so enjoyable!!!!! If,you don’t want to leave it,on NBC move it,to the sci-fi channel!!!! So many,of,use,would miss this very interesting show!!!
My husband and I enjoy this show so much! Please bring it back for another season. As another viewer mentioned, it seems as if everything we really enjoy has been taken off the air. Personally, I am tired of all the police, law and hospital shows. Timeless was so different from them…such a nice diversion from the same old thing! Thank you, NBC, for your consideration!
My husband and I love this show! Please don’t let it end after such a thrilling season finale! Love the history of it and the characters.
All of our favorite shows are ending (Bones, Grimm, Person of Interest, Castle). The only new shows we have picked up watching are Timeless and Designated Survivor. If you cancel Timeless what are my wife and I going to watch? I guess we’ll have to go to pay channels or something else.
Please keep it going!

My husband and I are avid watchers of this series. We love that it gives us an education in history and entertainment at the same time. Please don’t cancel this series.
My wife and I liked the show and would like to see a 2nd season. Keep going and good luck.
Love it! Love the interaction with history, the clothes, and the whole Sci Fi of changing present day time lines. Flynn let us in on something, didn’t he say he got the journal from Lucy’s in the future? Really looking forward to a Season 2.
Please keep it going! I love the journey into different periods of history in each episode. I’m hooked!
My husband and I are HOOKED!! Timeless is our favorite. We watch it on Demand because 10:00 is a bit too late for us. NBC – PLEASE RENEW OUR FAVORITE!!
