Although Big Brother rules the roost three times a week, CBS can’t run reality programming every night during the summer. Despite low ratings for a Tiffany Network TV series, James Patterson’s drama Zoo is currently in its third season. Now they’ve launched the Salvation TV show. Can it live up to its name? Will Salvation be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned.
A CBS suspense drama, Salvation, stars Santiago Cabrera, Jennifer Finnigan, Charlie Rowe, Jacqueline Byers, Rachel Drance, Shazi Raja, and Ian Anthony Dale. The thriller follows MIT graduate student Liam Cole (Rowe) and tech genius Darius Tanz (Cabrera). Because they don’t want to cause public panic, the two present Pentagon Press Secretary, Grace Barrows (Finnigan), with evidence that in six months, a huge asteroid will crash into the Earth.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
9/21 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like the Salvation TV series? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season on CBS?
10/18/17 update: CBS has renewed Salvation for a second season of 13 episodes. Details here.
Me and my wife can’t take the reality shows. We really enjoy watching this show and would hate to see it taken off or not renewed. The plot is interesting and the cast is great
Great show. I think part of the “low ratings ” has been generated by the title chosen for the show. I think it should run for one more season. If it were renamed: Salvation: Extinction Imminent or something more dramatic it would draw people to the program.
Love this show
Good show, not great. The whole plot has become too complicated but yet the premise is now a bit boring. Jennifer Finnigan is one of the hottest women on TV so that’s pretty much holding my attention now.
Absolutely KEEP this show. It has been so entertaining and I love it. Renew it for another season, please.
Love it! Much better show than the critics suggest, with some interesting parallels to recent politics. Great cast. Nice touches of humour. Perhaps room for more science?
Love this show!! Please renew. It’s literally the only network tv show I watch.
Please renew Salvation for season 2. I LOVE IT !! BEST show on tv
