TV show description:
A Canadian-American science-fiction mystery drama from creator Brad Wright, the Travelers TV show unfolds in a post-apocalyptic future, in which special operatives travel back in time to save humanity from destruction. Unlike many time-travel stories, there is no time machine involved. Instead, a special operative known as a “traveler” transfers his or her consciousness into the body of “target” just prior to that person’s death.
Locating the 21st-century target in the right time and place is possible, thanks to people’s reliance on smartphones, social media, GPS, and the like. Once a traveler has pinpointed and taken over a target’s body, that traveler must live in-character as the host (i.e. the person who originally possessed the body).
While going about the business of living the target’s life, the traveler — as part of a team of five — carries out secret missions in furtherance of the cause. They report to an entity known as “the Director” — an artificial intelligence dedicated to saving the world. The Director monitors events of the 21st century, as the travelers carry out their missions.
The story centers on a team of five operatives. Traveler 3468, aka Grant MacLaren (McCormack), is the team leader who takes over the life an FBI Special Agent. Working along with him are: Traveler 3569, aka Marcy Warton (Porter), who is living as an intellectually disabled person; Traveler 3465, aka Carly Shannon (Cooper), the team tactician, who is living as single mom; Traveler 0115, aka Trevor Holden (Abrahamson), the team engineer who is posing as a high school athlete, despite being one of the oldest humans in existence; and Traveler 3326, aka Philip Pearson (Dolman), the team historian who has taken over the life of a young opioid addict.
Together, they must work to save the human race, while appearing to all around them as ordinary people of the targets’ time and place.
Series Finale:

Please continue this show. I watched all of Season 3 in one setting. Just could not get enough Travelers!
i love this show!
I really enjoy Travelers. Very entertaining.
Please renew this show! It’s so well written and beautifully acted. My husband and I would be so very sorry to see it go. The character development has been amazing and the storyline is engaging (addictive).
Just watched the first episode of Season three of The Travelers, and it is, as before, ever excellent. The story itself is compelling and the conflicts going on are not just believable, but considering the subject, made understandable by the brilliant writers. My husband and I binge watch it every time it hits the Netflix wall. Unfortunately, it happened during Christmas this year which means we will have to binge it AFTER Christmas. But we DID watch the first episode just because we couldn’t help ourselves. So, the grand babies were put aside for that 45 minutes! They survived! But… Read more »
Travelers should be renewed!!!!! Love the story line and the characters!
