During its first summer on CBS, the Salvation TV show ran in the middle of the pack in the Nielsen ratings race. Now it’s back for a second season. How will it fare, this time? Will Salvation be cancelled or renewed for season three? Stay tuned.
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 will elicit both the best and worst from humanity. **Status update below.

I love Salvation,please keep it. It needs a season 3.

This show is unintentionally hilarious. My wife and I love guessing the “twists” 3 seconds after they’re introduced.

Renew please , excellent show.

I think the television show Salvation is a great show. It is one of the very few shows I look forward to week after week.

I think Salvation is the best show on TV period. Would be a shame to discontinue! Please keep the seasons coming! Thx!
