![]() We thought it was beautiful moment for Flynn and thought Goran played it fantastically. So really it’s an unrequited love and he’s able to use that as motivation to go do this very selfless act. He knows that she loves Wyatt and if Wyatt were to go back and die, then that’s not going to make Lucy happy. When you tell these finale stories, whether this is an NBC finale or whether this is ultimately a series finale - we never really know with our show - you want to give yourself the license to really go big and to go big with Flynn here and have it come out of character and have him do it for Lucy, essentially. So that was all important, and we wanted to, selfishly for each of our seven series regulars, make sure that they all had specific great moments for their characters. I know people are sad and like, “We don’t want it to end, we don’t want this to be the finale,” but one of the advantages when you’re writing something is that you don’t have to hold stuff back and say, “Well, we’ve got to make eight more episodes after this so we can’t really resolve this.” You can really dive in and resolve things with Jessica, and resolve things with Emma and Rittenhouse. She had changed a lot in the episode that aired back in March, and I think we needed to deal a real death blow to Rittenhouse.Įric Kripke, Arika Mittman, Lauren Greer and I - it was the four of us that were working on this - we wanted to feel a real sense of victory. ![]() We needed to address the idea that even when Rufus and Jiya get back together, there is something that’s changed since she had been stuck in the 1880s for three years. We had to address the Lucy/Wyatt, Lucy/Flynn love triangle one way or the other. Can you imagine the fan backlash if we hadn’t saved Rufus? We had to bring Flynn’s character full circle. Once you knew you were coming back - again - what did you need to definitely include in the episode? People will judge for themselves whether we did or not, but certainly our intention and our efforts were, “This has to be as good as we can possibly make it or otherwise we’re cheating the fans who worked so hard and sacrificed so much to give us this opportunity.” So it was really a motivating factor to try to get every moment, every scene really right. It really has an impact on the way that we made this finale, because from the writers, to the actors, to our director, to our producers, there was a real sense of, “This happened because of the fans, we’re continuing to make this because of the fans and we’ve really got to make this good.” This is not such a cute story if we make a piece of crap at the end of this. ![]() Not that we’re not passionate - we are! - but it really is amazing the lengths that they’ll go to to fight for the show. In this case it really feels like the fans are almost more passionate than us. When you write for television you want people that feel as passionate about the show as you do watching it, and that’s not always the case, even if they enjoy it. How did it feel to know that people were so invested in its future? ![]() Timeless has a very passionate fan base that is definitely a huge reason why you were able to cheat cancellation multiple times. Flashing forward to 2023, Wyatt and Lucy were happily married (with twins), Rufus and Jiya were happily together, and the team reunited to travel back to 2014, where Lucy gave Flynn the copy of her journal that started the whole adventure.īelow, Ryan talks with THR about pressure to provide the show’s passionate fans what they wanted in the finale, the importance of giving Lucy and Wyatt a happy ending and whether it’s possible that Timeless could get revived for a third time. troops left the country and war broke out. In the second half, the Time Team traveled to 1950 North Korea, where they managed to reunite a Korean family just before U.S. NBC Un-Cancels 'Timeless' for Two-Part Series Finale
