What caused the change in plans? The show’s producer/distributing partner Sony TV pushed hard for the show’s continued existence, according to THR. The independent studio reportedly offered “the lion’s share of the profits to NBC” with the belief that the series can morph into a long-running franchise. The strategy on how to get there sounds like it means bit of a series tweak. Co-creators/co-showrunners Eric Kripke and Shawn Ryan have pitched season 2 as a more family friendly approach and word has it that an 8 p.m. timeslot is being eyed for the show’s return. When’s that? Sometime in 2018 (likely spring or summer) with a current 10 episode run planned.
The show has not yet been given a start date with rumors of a Spring or Summer 2018 second season premiere
We will continue to update this article as more information becomes available.
Congratulations Eric Kripke and the cast and crew of Timeless!
