The clock has run out for Timeless once more. NBC has canceled the time travel series…again.
Insiders say the studio and network are continuing talks for a potential two-hour movie to wrap up the finale cliffhanger. The drama, which saw NBC stunningly reverse its cancellation after its freshman run, had been in negotiations between producers Sony Pictures Television Studios and NBC.
While not a ratings breakout, Timeless averaged a 1.2 in the key adults 18-49 demo and nearly 5 million total viewers with seven days of delayed viewing, the May 13 season two finale ticked up slightly (though it did not best its season average.).
The news comes days before the options on the show’s cast expire. Should NBC and Sony TV agree to a movie, the indie studio would have to ink its stars to new deals — again. The cast all had to renegotiate their contracts after season one was canceled to address the short-order renewal for season two.
