NBC has canceled freshman drama series “Timeless” after one season, TheWrap has learned.

The Abigail Spencer-led time travel drama was considered a bubble show but had amassed a passionate fanbase.

The show averaged a 1.1 rating and 4.62 million viewers in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic — rising to an average of 2.1 and 7.97 million viewers with seven days of delayed viewing, according to TVByNumbers. But the same-day rating slipped as low as 0.6 near the end of its run in the post-“The Voice” Monday time slot.

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, and were outspoken about wanting a second season renewal for the show.
