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.

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!
