NBC chief Robert Greenblatt has denied suggestions that Timeless‘ dramatic uncancellation was a marketing ploy, per TVLine:
“I wish that we were that clever. We would never do that to the creators of the show. That did not happen. These negotiations are really tricky… It just happened the way it happened.”
Timeless was saved following renegotiations with producing studio Sony, with Greenblatt saying “we went back to the drawing board” to make Season 2 viable:
“We all love the show creatively. [But as a result of its subpar ratings], we decided to move on from it. And then we woke up the next morning, heard [about] the [fan] outcry and went back to the drawing board with our partners at [producing studio] Sony. And I’m happy to say we were able to figure out a way to bring it back. It’s extraordinarily well produced and it deserved to come back.”
Will Timeless survive for Season 3? Stay tuned…
