Telly’s Take
Salvation premiered with low ratings and they’ve gotten even worse. Unless CBS has made enough deals to cover a good amount of the costs for this series, I would be shocked if this series came back for a second season.Subscribe for free updates on any cancellation and renewal news.

What do you think? Are you glad that the Salvation TV show was renewed for a second season? How would you have felt if CBS had cancelled this TV show, instead?
Fantastic show! Please don’t cancel it. Great plot, actors and storyline
I agree
This show was fantastic! Love, love, love the characters, storyline and it wasn’t political. Such a refreshing change from other shows and extremely entertaining. Please renew!
We have really enjoyed the first season and love the actors — we hope it continues for at least another season!
Amazon prime could buy the rights and continue the series!
Yes. Renew please!
Just finished Salvation on Amazon prime. This show gets so much right in a TV series and had so many satisfying performances. The acting was top notch and the writing is tight. They left the season.in a way where you could fill in the gaps if it’s not renewed but with enough still in the air (pun intended) for another season or two.
Really hoping for renewal.
Anxiously awaiting season 2. They definitely should promote it more. Great acting with just the right mix of character development and technology. I really hope it comes back.
Please renew for season 2. Don’t leave us hanging.please, continue
Never heard of salvation. Came across it on amazon and was really surprised how good it was. Hope they make more.
Very taken with the plot and interaction of the characters. Absolutely looking forward to a series 2. I agree with the comment that more effective promotion will definitely benefit the show. None of my friends were familiar with it.
58 years old loves salvation. Jennifer finnigan. Is great actress. A lot of handsome actors. Can’t wait to see if they stop asteroid. Please renew for season 2. Don’t leave us hanging.
I love this show. Please do not cancel it. It is the most interesting series on television. It has the same elements as Fringe. As a die hard Fringe enthusiast, I believe this show has that same quality.
So glad you mentioned Fringe. That ending had me remembering when Fringe through everything into the future – then shockingly kept it there in a twist that made the show absolutely fantastic. I’m very curious to see if Salvation might try such a thing.
*for anyone thinking that’s a spoiler for Salvation’s season finale it’s definitely not. But it had me projecting the plot forward in a way that it could if they wanted to.
Loved the show. Great sci-fi and storyline. Loved Darius and and the rest of the cast….Please keep!
We love (to make fun of) it!!! Seriously, please continue..
Reasonably intelligent scifi TV! Believable interplay between characters. Please continue! Thanks!
