Will there be a second season of Salvation? Recently, star Ian Anthony Dale spoke with TVLine about the future of the CBS TV show.
The thriller follows MIT graduate student Liam Cole (Charlie Rowe) and tech genius Darius Tanz (Santiago Cabrera) who discover a huge asteroid will crash into the Earth in six months.The cast also includes Jennifer Finnigan, Jacqueline Byers, Rachel Drance, Shazi Raja, and Ian Anthony Dale.
Salvation finished its freshman season this week, but will there be another? Speaking to TVLine, Dale revealed there is a plan for a second season:
There is a plan, yeah. That’s the thing, there’s so much more story to tell. I’m hopeful that I’ll be buying winter clothes for my newborn son, which means we’d be headed back to Toronto in February and I get to see what [showrunners] Liz [Kruger] and Craig [Shapiro] have up their sleeves. The way we end it really leaves the door open for a lot more story to be told and I certainly would love to get back together with this group of people. This was a wonderful, harmonious experience — and I’m sure Jen has told you the same thing.”
Though CBS has not yet announced a renewal for Salvation, Dale says it would be “foolish” not to greenlight a second season:
There are definitely options. And when you’re able to bring the elements together — this cast, these writers, that crew in Toronto — it would be foolish not to recreate that magic at least one more time.”
What do you think? Did you watch Salvation? Would you watch another season?
I watched as much as I could and I just love it! I really hope it continues, I can’t wait to see what further ideas they come up with for the script! I’ve thought of several different directions they could go with the plot, and I think it would be such a waste not to take advantage of that. I also think the acting is excellent and I love all the intrigue and how it also seems to hypothetically (since it is fiction, of course) pose a variety of valid moral questions while apparently not getting overly opinionated about them-thus… Read more »
Love the show!! So much can be done with the story lines. NEED to know what happens next.
I love the show and I want Season 2
Please … loved the show. Season 2 is a must in my book!
I watched every episode. I’d really like to see a second season.
One of my favorite five summer shows.
Totally taken in by the story and these characters! So well done and suspenseful. More PLEASE!
Ratings seem low for CBS. About 4 million (or less) per episode. I really hope they bring this back, because they ended on a cliffhanger. However, I would think be surprised if they don’t. Also, I will never watch another summer series on CBS. Perhaps never a short run network shee ever again. The 13 ep format belongs on cable or streaming (hey, maybe they will finish it on CBS AllAccess?) they should never end a short series like this on a cliffhanger. They should leave it open for more story, but wrap it up unless they have a guarantee… Read more »
I love this show. So true to life. The corruption, hidden agendas. Great chemistry with cast. Great story.
I want more.
I love the show & want to see the world save.
I watched it but it didn’t really ignite my interest enough to care whether there is another season.
Yes I want to see season 2
Loved the show and would love to see it continued….
Best show of the summer. Fabulous cast. Santiago Cabrera is mesmerizing.
Enjoyed season 1 and most definitely want the story to. continue!
