Timeless has altered history. NBC has uncancelled the series for a Season 2 renewal, RenewCancelTV can confirm.
Three days after the time-travel drama was axed, the network has course-corrected its initial decision, renewing Timeless for a 10-episode second season, to premiere spring or summer 2018.
The second season was salvaged after producers Sony cut Timeless‘ licensing fee, making it more viable (cheaper) for NBC to continue the show.

Showrunner Eric Kripke said of the reversal:
The Time Team went back 3 days, and changed history. @nbc picked us up for 10 episodes. Seriously. Airs next summer.

True props to Bob Greenblatt, Jen Salke and everyone at @NBC who pulled some serious Brandon Tartikoff shit with this decision! #Timeless

Good. Timeless was fun. Looking forward to seeing more.
Lacey Sheridan says
Surprising and exciting news! The show’s continuation will depend, of course, on how those next 10 episodes perform in the ratings. We need to talk it up; it’s one of the most intelligent shows on commercial TV.
mike perry says
Well the first season episodes had very good to bril ratings from over 12 million to 6 million on give or take
So your comment makes no sense-As there are other shows that get lower viewer ratings which are still good and get renewed
Alina Rionda says
WOW! I am so happy. This show is beautiful I loved it and was very upset by its cancellation. Thank you Sony.
Michael Dimonte says

Anthony Farrell says
We love timeless in Australia Sooooo Pleased that someone in the ivory tower has some scence
Slasher says
I’m glad it will still be on, or is it? You Play this game with us viewers. We are going to cancel it. Now, we aren’t. Then, they play “Where will it be made, Canada, or the U.S.A?” Yes, We would like to see it. Yes, you could do a better job of making it. There, I said it. It was definitely “Weak” at times. NBC needs something, CBS has been kicking their ass!
Rene says
Actually, I am disappointed they reversed themselves on this show. Now I am obliged to watch a second season to see where the main story line goes. Otherwise, I don’t really know why I would continue to watch it. It’s bad history, bad science fiction….overall bad. I think I am a glutton for punishment.
