Lisa Katz, co-president, scripted programming, NBC Entertainment, said, "We're excited to tell one final chapter to this incredible story. A huge thank you to all - our cast, crew, producers and partners at Sony - who have worked so very hard, and to the fans who kept us on our toes and made sure we did our very best week after week."
"While we wish we could've made another dozen seasons of ‘Timeless,' this is the next best thing. We're thrilled to take the Lifeboat out for one last spin and bring closure to our story. The studio, network, cast and crew are all doing this for one reason only: the fans. Because they deserve it. Because the fans made this happen and we thank them for their passion, support and helicopters. So? You guys want to get Rufus back or what?", said executive producers Shawn Ryan and Eric Kripke.
The special is expected to premiere this winter.
