"This is a sad day for the writers, actors, crew and especially the viewers of Timeless," Ryan wrote. "We are all extremely proud of what we made and know that it was more than just a show for so many of our fans."

"If NBC is sincere in wanting a 2 hour movie to give much needed closure to our amazing @NBCTimeless fans, we are ready to make it. We don't want the journeys of Lucy, Wyatt, Rufus and the others to end yet. #ClockBlockers," he added.

Abigail Spencer, who plays Lucy Preston, shared similar sentiments on her own account.
