Fans believe Timeless's "lack of global appeal" is possibly why Netflix opted to save 'Lucifer' and 'Designated Survivor' instead
Coming to the realization NBC will not renew it for the third time, 'Timeless' fans want streaming giants like Netflix to take it up and continue to air the show
NBC's 'Timeless' is well known as the show that has been canceled and renewed a lot compared to other shows. The series based on time travel ran for two seasons before NBC canceled it. And after fans of the show started a massive campaign, NBC renewed it for the second time after they realized they ended it with a lot of loose ends.
Money was raised by the 'Timeless' Clockblockers (fans) and they hired two helicopters that were used to fly a #SaveTimeless banner during the San Diego Comic-Con to get the attention of the network. When news of the reboot for 'Timeless' was announced - a two-part finale that will air December 20 - fans seemed satisfied with that, for that moment.
