Looks like NBC has given Timeless more time.
TVLine has learned that the time-travel drama's first season has been extended to 16 episodes.
We're thrilled to be ordering additional episodes so that we can run the final six hours of the season in a row with no pre-emptions after the new year. Our hats are off to Eric Kripke and Shawn Ryan for producing one of the most ambitious new shows anywhere on television," Jennifer Salke, president of NBC Entertainment said in a statement.
Also the network has set a premiere date for Taken, the series adaptation of the Liam Neeson action films. It'll premiere on Monday, Feb. 27th at 10/9c following the spring premiere of The Voice.
NBC has called Taken a "modern-day prequel to the blockbuster feature film franchise that that depicts how (Neeson's character) Bryan Mills developed and sharpened his particular set of skills."
Clive Standen (Vikings) will play Mills, Alex Cary (Homeland) and Luc Besson are among the show's executive prodcers as Cary will also serve as showrunner.
"Monday nights are critical to our success," NBC Entertainment Chairman Robert Greenblatt said in a statement. "And we're going strong into the rest of the season with the return of The Voice in February followed by the premiere of Taken, along with additional episodes of our great new series Timeless. We're very happy to welcome Gwen Stefani back to The Voice, along with Blake, Adam and our new coach Alicia Keys. And Taken is a thrilling new series inspired by the hit movie franchise by updated in a very clever way."
