Last year, fans of the Timeless TV show took a big ride on the cancellation/renewal roller coaster. First, NBC cancelled the time travel drama, but after a big outcry, quickly reversed their decision and renewed it for a second season. Can Eric Kripke, Shawn Ryan, and crew get that lucky again? Will Timeless be cancelled or renewed for season three? Stay tuned. **Status updates below.
An NBC action-adventure series, Timeless stars Abigail Spencer, Matt Lanter, Malcolm Barrett, Goran Višnjić, Paterson Joseph, Sakina Jaffrey, and Claudia Doumit. Season two picks up right after the events of last season and follows Rufus (Barrett), Wyatt (Lanter), and Lucy (Spencer) on their quest to prevent the destruction of our world as we know it. This season they’ll find an unlikely ally in their mission to destroy Rittenhouse, a deadly organization Lucy’s family has been a part of, for centuries. As they try not to change the past, they will visit 1692, 1917, 1941, 1981 and more, and encounter Marie Curie, Hedy Lamarr, William Randolph Hearst, and other influential historical figures.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
12/21 update: You can see the latest night’s ratings in context.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
For comparisons: The first season of Timeless on NBC averaged a 1.10 rating in the 18-49 year old demo and 4.624 million average total viewers.
What do you think? Do you like the Timeless TV series? Should it have been cancelled or renewed for a third season on NBC?

I can’t believe NBC cancelled “Timeless”! It was such a good show and you never gave it a chance. Once again viewers are left hanging with no closure in sight. No wonder network TV is losing so many viewers. Surely, you can do better. I am very disappointed in NBC!!!
Bring back timeless. One of the best show ever !!!!
I finally find a show I can watch with my kids and you all cancel it. The show actually taught them history in an enjoyable way.
This should be a no brainer! Keep the show on!! We finally get a show without sex, that has a plot and perfect effects plus people who can act. What is wrong with you people? Does everything on TV have to be bloody and people taking their clothes off or eating bugs? This show has history behind it. I hated history in school, but now I am seeing it in a new light. This show leaves you wanting more and more. Never a dull moment. We, the TV audience, deserve at least one show that we can enjoy and look… Read more »
