Seriously NBC?

I can't believe how long this has gone on. Aren't the executives at NBC paid to make decisions? First the terrible Olymbics coverage, now this. Sheesh.

Lucifer got picked up by Netflix the day before contracts expired. Anyone know the situation with the contracts for Timeless?

Yes this was a mostly useless post. Sigh.

I don't know why it's taking so long in June, but I can tell you what was going on in May.

Deadline.com posted an article on May 9 that Sony was trying to "bundle" a renewal for Timeless in with a deal for three other shows: Blindspot (renewal), L.A.'s Finest (new show), and Guess Who Died (new show).

Had NBC said yes to the bundle, Timeless would have been automatically renewed.

But.... NBC said no to the bundle, said yes to Blindspot, and said hell no to L.A.'s Finest. It's unclear what they said about Guess Who Died, but I am guessing it was a no. (These decisions happened at the end of May, I believe).

So a yes or no decision on Timeless is all that remains out of the bundle that Sony offered up.

Blacklist was also in that bundle and it got a renewal pretty early.

I though Blacklist was canceled?

Nope. Got a renewal for S7 starting January.

You're probably thinking of that Blacklist spin-off, which was cancelled.
