Timeless is Un-canceled: Yes, You Read That Correctly
After a SHOCKING cancellation announcement by NBC a few days ago, fans were beyond disappointed and upset. It didn’t stop there; show creator Eric Kripke took to Twitter to express his shock and disappointment as did cast members of the show.
Its true. NBC canceled #Timeless. We’re surprised & upset. Get you a longer response later. Odds are long, but trying to find another home.

While Eric took this approach, cast member Malcolm Barrett who plays Rufus took another approach while recounting his favorite experiences and things he will take from his time on Timeless.

To the surprise and shock of the show’s creators, fans and actors, NBC reversed its decision and will now air new episodes in Summer of 2018. The next season will feature ten episodes, and we are more than ecstatic. The cast and crew took to their loyal social media following to announce the exciting news. Thankfully, we had a show about time travel and could use that to our advantage. Let’s see how NBC spins this one!
They listened to you…
