Wednesday brought good news for one NBC drama and bad news for another.<\/p>\n
“Blindspot” received the good news. NBC renewed the series for a third season.<\/p>\n
Freshman series “Timeless,” on the other hand, learned that it will not be back next year. It has been officially canceled.<\/p>\n
“Blindspot,” which aired after “The Voice” for the duration of its first season, moved to Wednesdays at 8PM for season two. Its ratings are predictably down sharply on a year-over-year basis, although the show seemed to stabilize this spring. That consistency, combined with solid DVR numbers and a proportionately high level of “upscale viewers” (household income over $100,000), helped to justify its renewal.<\/p>\n
“Timeless” occupied the post-“The Voice” slot for a good chunk of its run. It drew respectable ratings, although those figures were obviously bolstered by its strong lead-in.<\/p>\n
Episodes that aired sans “The Voice” support drew weaker marks, providing little optimism that “Timeless” would deliver good numbers in a new timeslot next year. Apparently uninterested in keeping “Timeless” in the post-“The Voice” slot, NBC opted to pull the plug.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NBC made decisions on “Blindspot” and “Timeless.”","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1048],"tags":[210,177,7504],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
