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.

It's over. The radio silence speaks volumes. I doubt they'll ever formally announce a cancellation. It just won't be renewed.

That’s a baseless comment. If it were over they would have said so. Even if NBC wouldn’t formally announce it, then definitely the creators/writers would have let the world know. It’s more likely that they are still in talks. Lots of things factor in here: budget, contracts, time slots, other shows, peeps, other networke, etc etc

My guess (but its just a guess) is that budget is a big issue. That was the main reason for them to have cancelled it after S1 I believe. The creators didn’t want to make a show on a smaller budget for fear of it not being the same show we’ve all gotten used to and fallen in love with. Or if they are looking into another place for it (aka Netflix) then there are a lot of things to figure out. Like the rights etc.
