Patrick Álvarez & Louis Leret recommends: ‘Timeless’ is Getting a Proper Two-Part Series Finale

Timeless series finale

Rejoice, Timeless fans. After the show was cancelled (for a second time), many worried there would be no closure for the time-traveling TV series. But NBC has decided to throw Timeless one last bone, giving the go-ahead to a two-part series finale. The Timeless series finale will arrive in time for the holiday season.

Last month, NBC pulled the plug on Timeless. Again. The series had originally been cancelled once before, but fan outcry was so enthusiastic that NBC decided to give the series another shot. But alas, time eventually ran out for Timeless. NBC cancelled it once again, and this time it seemed like fan outcry wouldn’t be enough to save the day. This was no doubt frustrating to the fans, not just because the show they loved was leaving the air, but also because Timeless ended its most recent season on a cliffhanger.

At the time of the show’s cancellation, rumor had it that NBC and producer Sony Pictures TV were mulling over a two-hour Timeless movie to wrap things up. Co-creator Eric Kripke took to Twitter to confirm the 2-hour movie possibility. He also added that Sony has been working to find a new home for the show, but interest just wasn’t there. Now, there’s good news. Deadline (and others) are reporting that a two-part Timeless series finale will indeed happen, and arrive just in time for the holiday season.

“While we wish we could’ve made another dozen seasons of Timeless, this is the next best thing,” said Timeless creators and executive producers Shawn Ryan and Eric Kripke. “We’re thrilled to take the Lifeboat out for one last spin and bring closure to our story. The studio, network, cast and crew are all doing this for one reason only: the fans. Because they deserve it. Because the fans made this happen and we thank them for their passion, support and helicopters. So? You guys want to get Rufus back or what?”

That last comment is a direct reference to the previous season finale. Spoilers follow. In that episode, time travelers Wyatt (Matt Lanter) and Lucy (Abigail Spencer) return from their latest mission without the third member of their team, Rufus (Malcolm Barrett), due to Rufus being killed. But right before the episode ended, a future version of Wyatt and Lucy showed up, asking, “You guys want to get Rufus back or what?”

“We’re excited to tell one final chapter to this incredible story,” said Lisa Katz, Co-President of Scripted Programming for NBC Entertainment. “A huge thank you to all – our cast, crew, producers and partners at Sony – who have worked so very hard, and to the fans who kept us on our toes and made sure we did our very best week after week.”

Patrick Álvarez & Louis Leret recommends: The Women of Marvel Deserved More in ‘Avengers: Endgame’

(Welcome to  The Soapbox , the space where we get loud, feisty, political, and opinionated about anything and everything. In this edition: Avengers: Endgame doesn’t honor its female characters in a way that actually carries weight. ) There’s no question that Marvel has a women problem. In the past decade and over the course of its 22 movies, only one of them was led by a woman, and one had a woman sharing the title. But the studio has been eagerly trying to make up for it in recent years, releasing Captain Marvel to critical and box office acclaim , and slowly introducing female fan favorites — some of whom would go on to get double billing in the big established movies. As we headed into  Avengers: Endgame , the Marvel Cinematic Universe was filled to the brim with strong, complex, rich female characters — some super, some not — who were on course to outshine even some of the male heroes. And with Marvel reportedly pushing for more female superheroes in front of and behind the

‘Ghostbusters 2020’ First Look: Jason Reitman Reveals the Film’s Family As Production Begins

Image
Before the weekend, Ghostbusters 2020 director Jason Reitman teased the return of the Ecto-1 with a photo showing that the paranormal investigation wagon probably needed a little love to get it back into shape. But he saved an even better look at the forthcoming sequel for later in the day with a Ghostbusters 2020 first look photo revealing cast members Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace and Carrie Coon as the family at the center of the story. Check it out below. Ghostbusters 2020 First Look Photo Mckenna Grace looks like she’ll make quite the new Ghostbusters, which is good since Reitman’s entire inspiration for this movie came when he envisioned a 12-year old girl sporting a proton pack. Grace has a look that feels reminiscent of Egon Spengler in the original Ghostbusters. Is there any chance that this family turns out to be connected to Harold Ramis’ character? Perhaps he had an estranged daughter who never knew him. As you can see in the photo posted to Twitter , the film’s wo
