NBC’s Timeless series finale sets premiere date
After being canceled by NBC back in June for the second time, it was announced the following month that Timeless would return for a two-part finale to wrap up the series. Today, the Timeless official Twitter account shared a new key art, which you can view in the gallery below, revealing that the team will get Rufus back on December 20!
The finale will act as a two-part movie, with the first hour being written by Lauren Greer, who co-wrote the second season episode “The Day Reagan Was Shot,” and the second hour will be written by Arika Lisanne, who wrote four episodes of the show including the season one episodes “Stranded” and “The Red Scare” and the season two episodes “The War to End All Wars” and “The Day Reagan Was Shot.” The entire film will be directed by TV veteran John Showalter, who has also directed four past episodes of the series.

From Eric Kripke (Revolution, Supernatural) and Shawn Ryan (The Shield), season two of this thrilling action-adventure series picks up right where we left off with our heroes. We continue to race throughout history with our beloved team: Rufus (Malcolm Barrett), a scientist; Wyatt (Matt Lanter), a soldier; and Lucy (Abigail Spencer), a history professor, in an attempt to prevent the destruction of our world as we all know it. This season they’ll find an unlikely ally in their quest to ruin Rittenhouse, a deadly organization with plans to change history and reshape reality – even though Lucy’s family has been a part of Rittenhouse for centuries. Still making every effort not to affect the past themselves, they will visit 1692, 1917, 1941, 1981 and more.
The sophomore series was canceled after it’s first season due to lackluster viewer ratings but was resurrected three days later by NBC due to the passionate fan base flooding NBC with support for the show. NBC ended up giving the series a 10 episode second season that premiered on March 1st.
The cast of Timeless includes Abigail Spencer, Matt Lanter, Malcolm Barrett, Goran Višnjić, Paterson Joseph, Sakina Jaffrey and Claudia Doumit.
