Timeless Cancellation Explained – Creator Blames ‘Finances’

May 11, 2017 by RenewCancelTV 3 Comments

Timeless Season 2

UPDATE: Timeless Uncancelled: Axed Drama Renewed For Season 2 By NBC!


Timeless has run out of future at NBC, but why was it cancelled? Co-creator Shawn Ryan has blamed finances for the show’s early demise.

With the time-travel drama being shopped to other outlets, see the cast and crew reactions to Timeless‘ cancellation below.

Actor Matt Lancer recalled the show’s “epic adventures”:

Guess it's time to hang up my time-traveling boots. People always say, "don't live in the past"…. I don't know man.. we sure had some fun. Been on some epic adventures with these guys. This is our first scene with the Lifeboat filming the pilot. What a journey huh @abigailspencer and @verbalberappin ? A sincere thank you to our creators Eric Kripke & Shawn Ryan. To our incredible cast and writers. Our dedicated crew and DEFINITELY to our awesome FANS!! #Timeless Ps. Just so y'all know, Sony is shopping it around to see if another network may want more time traveling adventures! Ya never know.

Actress Abigail Spencer expressed gratitude:

Actor Malcolm Barrett expressed his feelings by referencing a scene from the show: “how you feel inside when they cancel Timeless”

How you feel inside when they cancel #Timeless CORRECTION: They changed their minds…

A post shared by Malcolm (@verbalberappin) on May 10, 2017 at 5:41pm PDT

Co-creator Shawn Ryan can’t be surprised but made a point of stating that the cancellation was “financially driven”:

Its true. NBC canceled #Timeless. We're surprised & upset. Get you a longer response later. Odds are long, but trying to find another home.

1. Learned a lot about TV biz in last few days. A lot of things to argue for a #Timeless renewal but $$$ flows in mysterious ways in tv now.

3. I've been inundated with #Timeless love by non show biz people more than any other show I've ever done. I feel bad for all of you today.

— Shawn Ryan (@ShawnRyanTV) May 10, 2017

4. So thanks to all of Team Timeless for your passion and ❤️ for the show. We'll try to keep it alive. #ResucitateTimeless

— Shawn Ryan (@ShawnRyanTV) May 10, 2017

5. Want to add I got a classy call from Bob Greenblatt and Jen Salke from @nbc who are heartbroken about the financially driven decision.

— Shawn Ryan (@ShawnRyanTV) May 10, 2017

6. Appreciate Bob, Jen and NBC giving us the canvas to tell 16 fun stories with our amazing cast. #ResucitateTimeless

    It makes me mad that a high quality family-oriented show that is instructional can’t survive in the U,S.A.. at NBC while dreck just goes on and on. I must not be a mainstream viewer or else I would embrace the rest of NBC’s lineup. I guess the typical American TV watcher enjoys formula, time-worn and predictable programming. I do not. Maybe NBC will give us a fourth or fifth “Chicago” show next season. So long, NBC.

      I feel the same way about the “chicago” shows, its the same thing they did with Law & Order! Their writers must only be able to concentrate on one thing at a time!

    This show was the first time in a very long time that I watched anything on NBC, guess I won’t be watching it again. Just sux when a very good show dies too soon. Timeless had so much more to tell and I sincerely hope that they find a home for it, I’ll be watching!
