In a unprecedented move by NBC, Timeless has been renewed for a second season following outcry from the fans, after the cancellation three days ago.

Creator Eric Kripke joked on twitter that the time team went back in time 3 days to change history. Timeless has been picked up for 10 more episodes to air in the summer.

So what gives here? Did it really get cancelled or was it an elaborate marketing stunt concocted by the Rittenhouse guys? All my thoughts about my favorite new show of the year can be found here.

SONY who co-owns Timeless with NBC, apparently sees long standing franchise potential in the family friendly time travel drama. Timeless has become the only time travel show to survive a series of freshmen time travel tv shows that aired on various networks this season.
