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?
Since it’s cancelled, they should had all the actors get together an do a 2hr. finale like Timeless. We would like to know what the writer ment to happen.
It should not be renewed, the actors are good but the story is not good, its all just to strange, why would something that looks like an astroid not be one, how could the solar sail have docked(did it?) and it still does not turn out to be one, the twist is just cheap. The whole series its an astroid and now suddenly not. Also the special effects are super low budget…
Love the show. Yes, please do season three!
Absolutely in for a series 3. We are a big fan!
Por favor no retiren al episodio 3. Ansiosamente lo esperamos. No es justo suspenderlo.
Would be Great to see Salvation for Season 3!
I may not watched the entire series, but it was pretty lowdown for cancel it. I want to see season 3 of Salvation.
Too many politics, not enough action – always lowers ratings, IMHO!
More action? I’d love to see more of the show!
Want in renewed
Yeah I want it renewed! I wanna know what happens next!
The networks want people to love their shows, but viewers are afraid to become invested in them because the networks axe them without a thought to the people they want to love their shows…
is it me or is there a big ol’ flaw in their reasoning?
Give Salvation the ending it so rightly deserves, and give us fans a chance to say a proper goodbye to Darius and the gang!
So… Samson made it to Earth… but it’s not an asteroid? What the bleep is IT??? We need closure!
It was really getting good. Please give us season 3!
This was a good series I was just starting to love the story and it was cut short
Please give us season 3
