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?
My favorite show. The ending totally took me by surprise. Definitely need a second season.
Love Timeless! Please bring it back.
Definetly want a second season. Didn’t see that ending coming at all. Great set up for season 2. While watching it I was wondering what they were going to do next. Rite house always seems to be one step ahead!
I love this show! I’d PAY to watch it!
Timeless is a great show. I’m looking forward to season 2.
If Timeless gets cancelled, I will cry. I LOVE this show. It’s one of the best ones on TV right now.
I love this show! I’m hooked. I really hope I don’t get left hanging without another season!!!
I don’t watch TV that much but Timeless is pretty much the only show I enjoy watching every week. I would really like to see Timeless renewed.
Oh! I hope you renew Timekess!!! It’s an edge-of-your-seat show that the whole family can watch. I watch it myself at home and then watch each episode over again at my youngest daughter’s home with her, her husband and their kids! How many INTERESTING shows are on television these days that three generations can watch together!?! We’re also looking up history with the grandkids that we would never even have thought about otherwise. .. and trying to guess what the next episode might hold. PLEASE, RENEW TIMELESS!!!
I’m a big fan of TIMELESS and certainly look forward to its renewal.
We love the show give us 2nd season
My 10yo and I love watching this show! It’s one of the few we agree on aside from Masterchef Jr! Please renew!!!
Our family loves this show and the interesting history we are exposed to in a new way! Please renew Timeless for many seasons to come.
I’d really like to see Timeless renewed. I felt the story got more and more interesting as the season went on.
One of favorite must watch shows
