In 2016, Spencer was cast as lead character Lucy Preston in the NBC series Timeless, where she plays a history professor sent on time travel missions to different eras in an effort to prevent others from disrupting the U.S.-related timestream. A review of the series in Variety called Spencer “prodigiously talented” and that she played “a character whose major personality traits are ‘smart’ and ‘plucky.'” A review by Deadline Hollywood said that the show was a waste of Spencer’s talents. The New York Times wrote that “Abigail Spencer is good as Lucy, the spunky historian who is the show’s central character.” Timeless was renewed by NBC on May 12, 2017. The network had canceled the series days earlier, but reversed the decision. The series ended after two seasons. Abigail Spencer Net Worth
