Was tonight’s episode the end for the Salvation TV show? Viewers of the CBS summer drama series were likely shocked by tonight’s finale and it seems unlikely that the cliffhanger will ever be resolved. Do you think the network should renew Salvation for a third season, despite some very low ratings?
A CBS suspense drama, Salvation, stars Santiago Cabrera, Jennifer Finnigan, Charlie Rowe, Jacqueline Byers, Melia Kreiling, Ashley Thomas, and Ian Anthony Dale. The thriller follows MIT graduate student Liam Cole (Rowe) and tech genius Darius Tanz (Cabrera), who discover that in six months, a huge asteroid will crash into the Earth. In season two, the truth is out. Now that it is no longer a secret, the impending threat elicits both the best and worst from humanity.
The TV series debuted in July 2017 and drew pretty mediocre ratings right from the start with a 0.70 rating in the 18-489 demographic and 4.90 million viewers. The numbers didn’t get any better as the season progressed and ended up averaging a 0.52 in the demo with 3.53 million. Despite the lackluster ratings, Salvation scored a second season renewal.
In season two, the ratings have been even lower. The 12 episodes that have aired thus far have averaged a 0.33 demo rating with 2.67 million viewers. Compared to the first season’s numbers, that’s down by 38% and 24%, respectively.
It’s unclear if CBS Television Studios has a special streaming deal that would help reduce some of the production costs for this series (ala Zoo) but it seems clear that the regular commercial ratings aren’t strong enough to land Salvation a third season.
But, what do you think? Do you think that Salvation should be cancelled or, renewed for a third season — despite the low ratings? Would you watch season three?
Love the show good actors good action
Renew for a third season it has been a spine chillingly unpredictable thriller.
This show is really great, good actors, good story and it keeps you involved all the time.. please have a season 3! it would be a pleasure
This show is awesome. They need to review it for sure. What happens next and is the asteroid destroyed or does it hit the earth? We are in suspense and have the need to know. Make it happen!!!
Lol… did you see the final episode ? It has now become a very different problem.
I loved Salvation. Darius and Liam are brilliant together. Please renew for Season 3 and continue the story.
Cancel the show. This story line is going nowhere. Why would a sub group try to prevent the destruction of a asteroid that will destroy the planet.
Ermmm did you even watch it? It is definitely going somewhere!!
It should be renewed! It is an amazing show with great characters!
Salvation is growing in story line and characters. Why stop it when its getting better each eposide as the characters are coming to life. Go season 3 netflix Australia
Yes, most definitely! Please give us season 3! This show is a brilliant piece of work. I enjoy how it captures the human spirit to fight to the end. It influences me to laugh, love, dance, and enjoy everyday as a gift.
It is fascinating and needs to be renewed!!
Love Salvation, what a great late night show on the weekend.
Please renew!
This show makes for great summer watching . Make it a 10 pm summer drama for 2019. one more year
Yes it should be renewed. However there needs to be some type of resolution after all, there only days left until the end of the earth. Then there should be an appeal written to continue watching the next new anomaly.
It should be renewed!!! I would definitely watch it.
