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.

Please don’t keep us waiting, we need more “Timeless” my entire family and I are so in love with this show. We need more answers, more adventures. Please please please give us more. We want more!
This show has captivated me like no other. My away-at-college child and I watch separately and then call to discuss – love it! It is one-of-a-kind. I don’t know why ratings have to be tied to watching it live – who can do that anymore? Please keep Timeless ON !
Timeless is such a great show!!!! Thank you for listening to the fans and renewing the show for a second season. Now please hear our cry and move the timeslot to an EARLIER time!!!!!!
I really hope the NBC renews Timeless. Maybe putting it on Tuesday nights at 9pm after “This Is Us” would help greatly as it would have a strong lead in. I knew when they did Sunday nights at 10pm it was NBC’s way of say they had no faith and were just giving the show several episodes to potentially tie up lose ends and then cancel it. This season has been really good. I just hope it gets a 3rd season and better time slot. Oh yeah and some promotion from NBC wouldn’t hurt either. There were 5 commercials that… Read more »
Awesome show, but it’s now in a horrific time slot. Seems they put it there to have the show purposely fail.
Timeless is my favorite show! Please renew! Please keep it coming NBC!
Love Timeless and hope NBC renews it.
Love this show! Please renew!
PLEASE!! Renew! It’s such a captivating, intriguing show! There’s nothing like it! Beautiful history lessons, and the affects they marked on the present! To many good shows are being cancelled. Earlier air times will bring up your ratings TREMENDOUSLY! I’m a mom of three, I dvr and watch it within a day or two at most. It’s on too late for good ratings!!
Please keep the history lessons coming move it to an earlier family time.
RENEW RENEW RENEW!!! Please NBC. This show is so unique and good!!!
Timeless is my favorite show! Please keep it coming NBC!
Timeless is an awesome show and so refreshing from the majority of what’s on TV today. I love how we go into the lives of historical figures and there has been many times I didn’t know the facts they talk about. So it’s like getting a history lesson each week. LOVE IT! Please renew for season 3!
I’m a big timeless fan, the show has huge potential. Biggest problem with the show are the writers, it’s obvious how liberal they are for starters. This last week’s episode was so soft and corny. A few episodes ago the character Rufus said there wasn’t a god, stupid thing to say in a show, good way to tune certain viewers out. Also another thing they have to work on is the butterfly effect when they travel back in time, need to go into more depth with how something they change in the past affected the current timeline. If they kept… Read more »
This show needs to be renewed for a third season. Very refreshing take on the classic time travel genre. Its full if great drama, suspense and a little comedy as well. Its a great escape in a time where the world truly needs a great escape from time to time(no pun intended)
Please save Timeless!!!
Please renew Timeless for season 3. It takes a fresh look at time travel while adding a mix of exciting action and personal drama. Thanx.
