Although "Timeless" will have 16 episodes for its first season, an article from Cartermatt still expressed disappointment that "Timeless" will not have 22 episodes. The show's average rating may be the reason for this along with the fact that NBC has many shows in their roster.

With 3 more episodes, the Season 1 finale for "Timeless" is pushed back to the end of February. NBC then announced that the "Timeless" slot will then be taken over by a new exciting series, "Taken" set to premiere on Feb 27 next year.

The launching of "Taken" will also coincide with the return of the singing contest, "The Voice."The "Taken" prequel to air on NBC will star Clive Standen (Bryan Mills), Jennifer Beals (Christina Hart), and Gaius Charles (John).

With the news above, viewers surely have more reason to tune into NBC Channel.
