‘Timeless’ Might Be Cancelled; Creator Eric Kripke, 'Supernatural' Cast Ask Fans for Support

NBC's "Timeless" faces the possibility of cancellation. Considered a "bubble show", it has loyal fans, but its live viewer ratings leave much to be desired. The show's creator, Eric Kripke, who was also the showrunner of "Supernatural," rallied fans for support on Twitter. He highlighted a few ways that fans can help the mystery, sci-fi, action show to get a renewal for Season 2.

"Timeless" live viewer ratings is decreasing

According to CarterMatt, "Timeless" has an average rating of 1.3 in the 18-49 demographic. It's not too low, but not too high on the list of shows that people watch. Unfortunately, it recently dipped into the 0.9 rating. The show has a lot of potential, so creator, Eric Kripke, took to social media to ask for more support from the fans.

In a letter he posted as a picture on his Twitter account, Kripke urged fans to watch the series whenever it airs on NBC every Monday at 10/9c. He said that fan petitions to renew a show usually come out too late when the decision has been made and the show has already been cancelled. He asked fans to spread the word and get as many people as possible to watch the show on TV so that the network would give it the green light for Season 2.
