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.

Timeless is a terrific show. As a person who loves history, I learn something new every week. This past week’s episode has intrigued me to read the “Mrs. Sherlock Holmes” book. Last year, due to an episode I read “The Devil in White City”. Another episode inspired me to see the “Hidden Figures” movie. I simply can’t say enough positive things about this show. Networks shouldn’t cater entirely to the 18-49 year age group. Please renew Timeless for a third season.
Renew Timeless please
This show is wonderful. The story, the acting and the chemistry among actors is beyond your typical network show. Unfortunately, they have received little help from the network. Although it is a family friendly show, it is placed at 10 pm slot on a Sunday. A reasonable placement would significantly improve their ratings. It is as if NBC wants it to fail. I truly do not understand what the executives are thinking. It’s like they would prefer to bury it and watch it die and then come back next year with a new show that most certainly will lack the… Read more »
Please renew Timeless! It’s my favorite show! I am not able to watch the show live or on DVR by 3 a.m., but I watch faithfully!!! I love it! Please, NBC, put this show on before 10 p.m. for season 3! I’m sure that’s why “ratings” are down because it’s on too late for all of us to watch live!!!
This season is so much better then the first…they have to renew…You only count what you can see but trust me, most of the geeks that are watching aren’t viewing on a cable network. They are downloading it or using iptv boxes. Like me…;)
Please renew Timeless, because is a great show, interesting stories, and excelent actors!
I love the show. It breaks my heart to see it’s not getting the rating it got last season! I really hope that thy give it some time. I love that it’s bringing snippets of history into the plot. Modern TV doesn’t do that anymore. I’m 31 and it appeals to me. I know it appeals to others.
This is a great show with great history. It is family friendly and the ONLY show I watch thats not on cable. Season 3 and a better time slot and I will give NBC more chances with other shows.
I just discovered Timeless and binge-watched through the first season. Love the in-depth of American history. I’ve learned a lot! Keep it coming for a third season!
Keep it,enjoying season two.it’s far better than all those reality & soap shows & repeats.I don’t mind paying my TV licence when you get decent programmes like Timeless.
Probably one of the best shows on tv , keep it going
Keep the show going. Do not cancel. Love this show!!!!
My favorite show!!! #Timeless
