NBC has ordered a new drama series entitled “Timeless” from the producers of “The Blacklist,” TheWrap has learned.

The series centers around a mysterious criminal, who steals a secret state-of-the-art time machine, intent on destroying America as we know it by changing the past.

Our only hope is an unexpected team: a scientist, soldier and history professor who must use the machine’s prototype to travel back in time to critical events. While they must make every effort not to affect the past themselves, they must also stay one step ahead of this dangerous fugitive.

The cast includes Abigail Spencer, Matt Lanter, Malcolm Barrett, Goran Visnjic, Paterson Joseph, Sakina Jaffrey and Claudia Doumit.

Eric Kripke and Shawn Ryan serves as writers and executive producers. John Davis, John Fox, Marney Hochman and director Neil Marshall also executive produce. “Timeless” is produced by Davis Entertainment, Kripke Enterprises and MiddKid Productions in association with Sony Pictures Television.

This is the latest series order this week for NBC, which has greenlit several new shows. Dick Wolf‘s new drama “Chicago Justice” got an official pick up on Thursday, while “Midnight, Texas” from “True Blood” author Charlaine Harris was picked up today.

The network also gave series orders to two new comedies. “Powerless,” set in the DC Comics universe and starring Vanessa Hudgens, and “Trial & Error,” starring John Lithgow and Nicholas D’Agosto.

NBC also ordered a new dramady from Dan Fogelman called “This Is Us” starring Mandy Moore and Milo Ventimiglia. In addition, the network gave series order to sitcoms from Marlon Wayans and Tracy Wigfield.
