Drama Action & Adventure

Jay, Tyler and Will are friends who have spent the last two years in grad school. A simple prank to rollerblade through one of New York City's most famous museums makes Jay and Tyler prime suspects in a terrorist bombing. They're unable to turn to authorities when they realize they can't prove Will even exists. In every photo from the past two years, he has managed to block his face. Who will believe them?

Trivia & behind the scenes

Reception

Traveler was officially canceled after only eight first-run episodes aired, with creator David DiGilio posting an 'answers blog' on September 28, 2007 to give fans closure since the show ended without resolution.

Trivia

ABC originally ordered a full season of 13 episodes, but on October 28, 2006 the network cut the order back to just eight episodes.

Filming

Due to the Fourth of July holiday in 2007, ABC re-aired the episode 'The Retreat' on July 4 instead of airing a new episode, pushing the schedule slightly.

Reception

The series finale left major plot threads unresolved: the kidnapped Fourth Branch director Jack Freed was killed in a limousine explosion just before the show was cancelled, meaning Jay and Tyler's names were never cleared on screen.

Reception

Traveler received mixed reviews, holding a 53% rating on Metacritic based on 17 reviews, with critics split between praising its Hitchcockian 'normal-guy-thrust-into-a-plot' premise and dismissing it as implausible.

Reception

Despite low initial ratings, DVR viewership boosted the episode 'The Reunion' by 19.4%, bringing it to around 4 million viewers.
