Everybody is important in their own timeline. Lucy even says in the finale, she's like, "What's the point of saving history if we don't save the people in it?" That's a big arc for Lucy to go from only wanting to protect and save presidents or historically superimportant people - it's all about the important people and then you realize everybody's important because everybody's history is important. We just meet someone who touches us on a personal level. And then I feel like where we land, where we go, and who we interact with, nobody is historically "relevant" in the last moment. When you think about the pilot, we went to the Hindenburg crashing, which could not have been a bigger, more explosive, more - literally the Hindenburg is huge. How many timelines are there in the movie?ĪS: There are two different historical events that we go visit, and they're both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, which is cool because I didn't know that these events happened at those times. PS: The season two finale leaves things on quite a bit of a cliffhanger, with future Lucy and Wyatt popping up. Coming back to it knowing that you cheated death twice, you're just like, "All right. So that was kind of fun, too, because that's a bucket list kind of thing. Are we in a Christmas movie?" We're like, "Are people going to watch this every year at Christmas?"ĪS: Yeah. We were on set, Malcolm, Matt, Claudia, and I, and we were like, "Wait a second. It's super fun to do a holiday movie and kind of use the show for that. It's like, "Really? That's where we leave it?" So super grateful. Most times you just get yanked - especially after that season two cliffhanger finale. And that's what I've been calling it, is an elegant goodbye, which we're super grateful for. I'm like, "I can't deal with this no more." But it was exciting because, at the same time, this doesn't happen where a show gets to have an elegant goodbye. I think I probably got on a plane and went somewhere. I don't know what's good for the world," and you have to move on. I think after the second time where it felt like the show got better, our fanbase got deeper. I was like, "I can't take it anymore." I think, after the first time, you're like, "Okay, we did our best." You know what I mean? Shows get canceled all the time. I don't know what's good for the world,' and you have to move on."Ībigail Spencer: I was pretty upset after we got canceled the second time. As the show gets ready to go on what might be its last ride, I had a chance to talk with one of its stars, Abigail Spencer, about everything from the show's fan-favorite romances to her most emotional day on set, as well as what playing Lucy Preston has meant to her. Whether or not the show gets picked up by another network down the road (fans are still pushing to get it renewed), we can at least take comfort in the fact that we have one more adventure to look forward to. Due to the overwhelming response, NBC eventually announced it was doing a holiday movie to wrap up the story. They even paid for a helicopter to fly above Comic-Con in an effort to bring the show back. After NBC announced that it was canceling the series for a second time in June, fans began to flood Twitter with the hashtag #SaveTimeless. In fact, the ardent support of the Timeless fandom is a big reason the series is coming back yet again for a two-hour movie in December. The show's fans, who call themselves Clockblockers, have not only fallen in love with the characters and the actors who play them, but the important stories the series tells about history, diversity, and fighting for what you believe in. Of course, through all the highs and lows these past two seasons, the show has also gained a dedicated following. The time-traveling drama first premiered in 2016, and since then the series has been canceled, renewed, and then canceled again. These past two years have been quite the journey for Timeless fans.
