"Explore history, make it fun, make it digestible for people and get people more ignited by our American history," summed up Abigail Spencer about the driving mission of her show "Timeless" on NBC.
A lot of people think that a time machine would be a magical second chance to correct your mistakes, but NBC's series "Timeless" addresses the paradox that going back to revisit history can be a blessing and a curse. Even though the show is science fiction, the historical facts are the real deal. The show follows a trio who are locked in a battle of wits with a mysterious organization known as Rittenhouse, who invented time travel to go back through time to build a shadow control throughout the US. While battling Rittenhouse, the trio made of Spencer ("Lucy”), Matt Lanter (“Wyatt”) & Malcolm Barrett (“Rufus") come face-to-face with some of the biggest names in US History like Charles Lindbergh, Al Capone, George Washington and more, and have to do their best not to upset the history they know to be true.
The cast members were on hand in DC along with showrunners Shawn Ryan and Eric Kripke at the National Museum of American History as part of the History Film Forum, trying to highlight the way our American legacy has been portrayed in pop culture. "Timeless" spent 16 episodes in its first season diving directly into some of the most famous moments of our US history, so it was a perfect match to bring one such episode the the museum, specifically one addressing the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. What better story to revisit given that the museum is mere blocks from Ford's Theater.
