NBC Cancels Time-Travel Drama TIMELESS After Second Season

According to the Hollywood Reporter, TIMELESS has been canceled a second time at NBC.

The network has decided to cancel the beloved time-travel drama from producers Sony Pictures Television Studios. Soures say the studio and network are continuing talks for a potential two-hour movie to wrap up the finale cliffhanger. The drama, which saw NBC stunningly reverse its cancellation after its freshman run, had been in negotiations between producers Sony Pictures Television Studios and NBC.

From Eric Kripke ("Revolution," "Supernatural"), Shawn Ryan ("The Shield") and the producers of "The Blacklist" comes this thrilling action-adventure series in which a mysterious criminal steals a secret state-of-the-art time machine, intent on destroying America as we know it by changing the past. Our only hope is an UNEXPECTED team: Rufus (Malcolm Barrett), a scientist; Wyatt (Matt Lanter), a soldier; and Lucy (Abigail Spencer), a history professor, all of who must use the machine's prototype to travel back in time to critical events. While they must make every effort not to affect the past themselves, they must also stay one step ahead of Flynn (Goran Višnji?), a dangerous fugitive. But can this handpicked team uncover the mystery behind it all and end his destruction before it's too late?

The cast includes Abigail Spencer ("Rectify," "True Detective," and "Suits"), Matt Lanter("90210," "Star-Crossed," and "Commander in Chief"), Malcolm Barrett ("The Hurt Locker," "Dear White People," and "Better Off Ted"), Goran Višnji? ("ER," "Extant" and "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"), Paterson Joseph ("The Beach," "In the Name of the Father," and "Aeon Flux"), Sakina Jaffrey ("House of Cards," "Mr. Robot," and "The Mindy Project") and Claudia Doumit ("Faking It," "Scandal," and "New Girl").
