Cancellation cancelled! Earlier this week, NBC cancelled Eric Kripke and Shawn Ryan’s Timeless TV show, but now the Peacock Network has reversed its decision and renewed Timeless for a second season of 10 episodes.
A time travel drama, Timeless stars Abigail Spencer, Matt Lanter, Malcolm Barrett, and Goran Visnjic. The NBC cast also includes Paterson Joseph, Sakina Jaffrey and Claudia Doumit. It looks like the Lifeboat will be around for season two.

I hear something strange. A rush of wind. A sonic boom. What is that?

THR reports that although at one point, Kripke said Timeless, season two, would air in the summer of 2018, it is possible the 10-episode installment could return in spring, instead.
What do you think? Did you watch the first season of the Timeless TV show? Are you happy NBC reversed its decision to cancel it, and picked up season two, instead? Let us know, below.
1/22/18 update: NBC has revealed the season two premiere date for Timeless. Details here.
Great!!!! Let’s air in spring, okay???
Happy??? How about thrilled!!! This is like the “Chuck” renewal due to fans demands! Thank you, NBC! Now let’s make sure we don’t have to do this again by supporting Timeless big time!
YEAHHH!!!! Best news ever! ABC should take a page from their book and renew Last Man Standing.
Best news I’ve heard so far today…
What a great decision to bring back such a fun and entertaining show! Good Job NBC!
So very happy NBC reversed the decision to cancel Timeless! Can’t wait for Season 2!!!
WOOHOO!!! Thank you! A much needed change from crime, medical drama, and not-funny-at-all comedies! And a history lesson to boot! Great decision!
YAY!! Thrilled to hear this rare and fabulous news! CAN’T WAIT!!!
Yah! So happy!!
Great news! Looking forward to it.
Wonderful news and can’t wait to time travel with them again. Looking forward to taking off any day now!!!!
I am thrilled that they decided not to cancel Timeless one of the best shows on tv. Thank you NBC you make me very very happy.
Thank U for not cancelling Timeless but I hope we do not have to wait till 2018 for season two.
Show it spring and summer, give it 24 (or 26) episodes. I love this show and as I said in my last comment, it really teaches kids history without them knowing it.
Wonderful, wonderful news. Wonder why they decided to wait a year for season two? Summer 2018 is a ways off. Still happy.
