-----In the two-part series finale, Lucy and Wyatt - along with the Time Team and a little help from their future selves - travel to the California Gold Rush and the Korean War's Hungnam evacuation, in an audacious bid to save Rufus...and to stop Rittenhouse once and for all.
*****IMPORTANT NOTE: this information has NOT been announced or confirmed by the studio, and may be subject to change. Date, cost, product title...none of this is 100% certain at all. The various retailer sources we've obtained this info from all agree this release has a running time of 86 minutes. That makes sense, since that length of time would be two "hour-long" episodes ("The Miracle of Christmas, Parts 1 and 2") without commercials. On the other hand, despite agreeing with that running time, VideoETA claims this item will include "The complete second season and two hour finale of the TV series Timeless." Here at TVShowsOnDVD, we do NOT believe this will contain the other second season episodes. Just the finale, on a single disc. However, since Sony hasn't directly provided any information (or artwork) about this item, all of the above is up in the air for now. If anything changes, we'll re-list this item on a future Roundup with the updated information.
