I was like, Oh my God.
Now I get to stay in L.A. and raise our kid.
It was three or four days of ups and downs.

That Saturday morning my phone was on airplane mode and I was just chilling, doing my thing.
Then around noon I turned my phone on and saw a voicemail from my agent.
They never talk to me on the weekend, so I knew something was up.

Spencer:My phone was also on airplane mode.
When I turned it off, I looked over [at it] and saw Timelessis back.
I just thought it was a fan campaign, but then I suddenly had 150 texts.
James Corden was like, Congratulations.
I was like, For what?!
EW: What drew you to the show in the first place?
Spencer:I remember when we did the pilot, there was another comedy you wanted to be on.
Lanter:I was doing the pilot-season rat race and had already zeroed in on another project.
Spencer:Can we say which one?
They said, Wyatt is the Han Solo of the show.
Barrett:He was up for the Will & Grace reboot.
Spencer:Debra [Messing] was on the fence about coming back.
EW: Was the Time Team chemistry pretty instantaneous?
Spencer:My favorite part of the show is when its just the three of us.
Spencer:Because we dont like each other at all.
[Laughs] I try and unattract him as much as possible.
I do these kind of…
Barrett:Kristen Wiig dances.
Matt and Malcolm hate them.
I love doing them because they hate them so much.
EW: What can fans expect from season 2?
The big question is: Whose side will Lucy be on?
Lanter:We visit World War I, NASCAR in the 1950s, the Salem witch trials.
We meet Benjamin Franklins mom, Robert Johnson, Bessie Smith, Marie Curie.
Spencer:We go to 1940s Hollywood.
Barrett:Abi finally gets her musical wish.
Spencer:I do!
Lucy and Wyatt go undercover as a new musical act, and Rufus is undercover as a playwright.
Barrett:Langston Hughes!
Spencer:Sleeper agents are a big worry, too.
We expand the world.
Spencer:Because were all living together now.
Seven time travelers picked to live in a house…
Barrett:Real World: Time Travel.
EW: Im sure you have a lot of favorite costumes, but which ones have you hated wearing?
Barrett:My least favorite is in the [upcoming Salem witch trials episode] cause Im extra slave-y.
Lanter:The Civil War shoes were tight and hard and horrible.
We shot that episode in the summer and were in these authentic wool suits.
That was definitely the most uncomfortable.
Barrett:What about the Jesse James episode?
We actually had to change the script because it started snowing.
If you notice, Im wearing a blanket when were at the campfire.
Thats not a character choice; I was just cold.
Spencer:I requested an electric blanket to be on my spot before we shot that scene.
Barrett:What?!
[To Lanter] Did you know that?
Lanter:Not until now!
