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?

Love timeless… it’s a program different from all the medical/ police stuff that’s on. Please renew… great cast
This is the best show in t.v.!!! Please renew this show!!!!
Hi – we’re worried that Timeless will be cancelled so thought we had better comment! This is a brilliant show – characters we really care about, exciting stories and informative – you couldn’t want any more! Got 3 more weeks to go here in the U.K. but already need season 3 please! Thanks for a great show.
I can only reiterate what others have said before me—Timeless is an excellent show, with everything a show can aspire to: great concepts and scripts, wonderful characters and actors, a loyal following among fans, and intellectual appeal. I ask NBC to commit to the FUTURE of Timeless, as passionately as I have committed to watching it in the past. It’s family friendly and deserves an earlier timeslot on a week night. Please, NBC, renew Timeless for a 3rd season and save Rufus! And how about some merch?
Thanks to all cast and crew for another brilliant series. Hope NBC realise what a great and loved series they have here. Thank you.
Please bring back Timeless for a third season!!!
This is a show our whole family watches together and can learn from. My 13 year old son said he likes learning about history from the Timeless episodes.
Timeless is a show that has a great storyline, chemistry between the actors and is fascinating with the amount of real life history attached to it. My 6 year old son loves history and has watched this show and asked questions regarding the history side of it. He even used this show as an example of history he has learned and have had a 1st grader speech about who Abe Lincoln, JFK and many other historical figures were. He learns more about history from this show than he does at school. That should tell NBC something. Don’t take away something… Read more »
Do not cancel..please renew for season three!! This is the only drama I watch on TV. Love it. Please make more episodes. This was a teaser and we need to know what happens to Rufus.
We love Timeless. My family looks forward to it every week! There is no other show like this. It has been great family time. The history content has sparked great conversations with my 18, 15 & 12 year old kids!
Great show!!! – history sci-fi fantasy keeps me glued to each story as well as great cast with chemistry. Matt Lanter fan as well !!! Intriguing cliff hanger!!! Must have season 3 – Renew, renew, renew !!!! – just do it … Please!!!!!
Best show on TV. Crazy to cancel this show
How many viewers have to access Timeless thru iTunes, Netflix or Hulu??? You may not have emmidate results… but we download and watch it weekly… hate to see one of the few shows we choose to watch go away… 🙁 just wish they had a longer season!!!
Yes, if I do not get to see it on Sunday night, I watch it the next day on my NBC app. I would like to see an earlier time slot.
If NBC cancels Timeless they should have there heads examined, the show is the best show NBC has on TV, if you would put in primetime the ratings you executives are so worried about would go up, all these reality shows you guys put in the prime slots are geared for the millennials, at least Timeless could teach kids now days a little bit about history, I am of the baby boomer era and most shows that are put on TV does nothing for me personally, this is one show that is very well thought up and entertaining if it… Read more »
I want it to continue, especially with a cliffhanger like this one.
It’s a great science fiction/ fantasy show, with a great story line. I hope it comes back. I watch it on Hulu, since I couldn’t watch it at its regular time. So I binged watch it this time.
