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.

I really hope this show is renewed! They should at least get o wrap up the loose ends even if it’s a shorter season.
Love this series! Please give us a season 3 as good as season 2! Love the plot and the actors! Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase!! can’t wait!
Season 1 was fine, but season 2 seems to have adopted a “saving liberal history, one cause at a time” angle, which was just really 0ff-putting, obvious and preachy. I don’t need TV shows to teach me how to think, and as a historian a lot of this was cringe-worthy. Even the time travel stopped “making sense”, with little changes having huge impacts and huge changes being ignored and not mattering at all. Put it out of its misery.
Please please please renew. I love this show its aweseome. Fantastic. Great. Funny. Everything. DO NOT cancel this show again. I want whaytt and lucy to get together. Best series out at the minute
Please renew “Timeless”. Great show, I would like to see what happens in the next season.
Please renew Timeless! I love this show so much!
Please renew Timeless for the 3rd season. I am so sick and tired of shows like the Bachelor, Survivor and macho combat hype. It is different and we all love it.
Please renew Timeless! Please dont cancel this awesome show. It has been a great show and i dont want us to be left on an awesome looking cliffhanger! My Mum and sister loves this show as well.

One of the best shows on network TV. Have been watching Netflix more than network. This show is the exception and season 2 had been phenomenal! Please bring it back!!!
Absolutely love this show. I’ve learn things about history that I never knew.
Oops season 2 was so much better than season 1 is what I meant to say.
Season 2 was so much better than season 2! Please keep it! I’m dying to see what they do in season 3!
In season 3 they share universe with Han Solo.
Love Timeless. Please renew!
