(Netflix)
Every journey must come to an end, even if you’re a special operative trying to save humanity from destruction. Today, Netflix cancelled its Travelers TV show after three seasons. Star Eric McCormack has released a video, announcing that the show would not return for a fourth season. He did offer up the tiniest sliver of hope for fans, saying, “Who knows what the future holds,” and adding, “Travelers ‘Program One’, as we call it, is complete.” Check it out, below.
A Netflix sci-fi mystery, Travelers also stars MacKenzie Porter, Nesta Cooper, Jared Abrahamson, Reilly Dolman, Patrick Gilmore, J. Alex Brinson, Leah Cairns, and Jennifer Spence. The drama unfolds in a post-apocalyptic future, in which special operatives known as “travelers” go back in time to save humanity from destruction. Unlike much time-travel fiction, there is no time machine involved. Instead, a traveler transfers his or her consciousness into the body of “target” just prior to that person’s death, then uses the person’s identity as a cover, while carrying out secret missions.
To all our fellow #Travelers…

Well, all good things…
Thanks to the greatest cast, crew, directors, writers, artists and producing partners a guy could ask for. Love to you all. And to @Netflix for stepping up so we could make season 3! @Carrie_Mudd @EricMcCormack @TRVLRSseries #bestfansever

What do you think? Have you watched all three seasons of the Travelers TV series? Are you disappointed there will be no season four on Netflix? Sound off in the comments.
Very disappointed that there will not be a season 4
Netflix if you expect people to support viewership long term you can’t flood your own programming with so many originals that your judgement on what gets cancelled without completion and closure due to its being diluted in the mass chaos. Have integrity and give a series a proper heads up cancellation so the writers can give us an ending which is the reason for watching in the first place. If this happens enough I too will just move to Prime and Hulu and back to HBO and Showtime because nothing worse than investing so much interest in a story to… Read more »
Yeah, let’s just hope this is an industry gimmick, and that Netflix is trying a ‘new’ tactic to introduce another round. I can’t see any reason why they would cancel a dynamite series like Travelers. Brad Wright….are you listening? If you’re tired and do not want to continue, please transfer your 21st Century skill set into another human being and let THEM continue the series. The Program must continue…the world must be saved. You set us up with the next Attempt—the first one may have Failed to save the world, but it did not Fail to Entertain….isn’t that the whole… Read more »
I am traveler 9963 and I have come to the 21st to warn Netflix of the events leading to its demise, as well as that of streaming content. Over the next 3 years, Netflix will continue to bring incredible content to its platform, only to cancel it when people become deeply invested in the story and the characters. Eventually, Netflix customers grow tired of having their favorite shows yanked out from under them prematurely and for no good reason. As people become increasingly frustrated by NF’s irresponsible content management, they unite and lead a mass exodus from the streaming service.… Read more »
My husband had cancelled our Netflix subscription in favor of Amazon Prime. I made him renew it specifically for Frankie and Grace and Travellers. I am so disappointed they cancelled Travellers. I told him I would binge watch Frankie and Grace and then he can cancel the subscription.
Sad to see it end. Poor decision on Netflix’s part. Worth cancelling my subscription over.
I feel like I’ve been overwritten. This is my fav show. I’ve seen season one about 9 times. After viewing the final episode, I suspected it would be the last. I don’t think we heard the last of Brad Wright. I’m glad I live in the 21st.
Another bad move by Netflix. Please reconsider. This is a great show. At least give it another season to wrap story up. Bad move!
Why do all the quality shows get cancelled? Netflix should reconsider & bring it back-at least for one more season to wrap things up. Bad move Netflix!!!
Bummer!!! Loved this show and watched each ep at least 2 or 3 times. I guess it needed more time & marketing for people to discover its greatness. So many great shows have bitten the dust prematurely, that it seems like survival is mostly a crapshoot.
I guess I will have to be satisfied with looking for subsequent work by the talented cast.
Didn’t take long for NF to join the networks in cancelling quality programming before it’s time. Disjointed, Daredevil and now Travelers.
Really wish there was a season four…just binged all three seasons!
I am so disappointed. I absolutely loved this show and I hate to see it go. I dont understand why you let all of us get so involved in a show and then rip out the rug. Very unfair. I’m sorry to see it go.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo !!!!!!!!!
On the other hand, the end was nice, not rushed.
I loved it.
I was wondering how they could make a forth season. Obvioulsy it wouldn’t have been with the same cast, so what the point ? (I also loved the show for it’s cast)
I’m sad but like Continuum (with 4 season), Travelers was a very good and believable time travel show, Timeless was a bit lower.
So long travelers 3468, 0115, 3569, 3326 & 3427.
Please don’t cancel!! Love this show!!
I agree with Kate that it would behoove you to start work on Traveler Program II! Super actors, writers and story lines! I don’t understand how you decide on which shows stay and which ones go?!?! This was a keeper! Kept getting better every season. We were so excited that David would be back! Please, please reconsider either bringing it back or making Traveler Program II a new series?!?!
