Timeless co-creator admits his team feels a "little cocky" about their chances for yet another comeback after "coming back from the dead twice now"

TV Guide

Shawn Ryan says "I don't want to give false hope to the fans," yet he's not ready to say goodbye to Timeless after last night's two-hour series finale. "It's hard for me to accept — and maybe if you ask me a year from now and nothing's happening on this front, maybe I will come to accept the loss of Timeless — but for the moment, anyways, it feels like while it's not the largest audience in the world, the Timeless audience is the most passionate in the world," Ryan tells TV Guide. "And you see a lot of examples in this television landscape where passion means a lot. I don't know what will happen, I'm certainly not promising something will happen, but I see examples of — you know, Veronica Mars, Psych — you see these shows being revisited and redone. So I think it's still possible."
