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.

What do you think? Do you like the Salvation TV series? Should it have been cancelled or renewed for a third season on CBS?
**Status update 11/20/2018: Salvation has been cancelled by CBS. Details here.
I thought the show was very entertaining and had a number of twists that were not obvious. I too hope it comes back for Season 3 .
I love this show and the finale was excellent. One that had never occurred to me. That said, I really hope it is renewed. Also, isn’t it time the demographic was changed to reflect reality? People way older than 49 are spending money on the goods being advertised on all these shows.
CBS WE BEG YOU TO SAVE THE SHOW THE TWIST ENDING GOT US WAY MORE HOOKED!!!

Absolutely love Salvation! There is not another show out there like this one. The cast is phenomenal! Please bring Salvation back for the 3rd season.

Love this show and I really want more seasons to come. I’m tired of shows canceling after a couple of seasons. This show (Salvation) will be come popular and due time. Not saying that the it’s bad right, just saying a lot of people don’t know about it right now. Absolutely love the cast, crew and the plot of where everything can lead to. Hope to get to see more. Good luck and “God Speed”
Love love love, please renew!!
SEASON 3 PLEASE!!!!!! It’s the best show out there. Finally a different story line. RIVETING!!!
Pretty pretry please, if it’s the last wish I ever have granted for the rest of my entire life, renew the show Salvation for series 3. It can’t just end there with that beautiful, strange whatever it is hovering over planet earth. I understand that season 3 would most likely be the final season but for the love of God and all the die hard Salvation fans like me, please don’t leave us hanging like that. Just finish out this awesome show with an amazing season 3. Thank you in advance for granting this wish for me and and the… Read more »
Please renew for Season 3. BTW, what was the final word Danrius Tanz uttered? Listened three times and still can’t understand it. Thanks.
whatever it is….it’s here!
Thank you!
it should definitely be renewed for a third season.
Please renew Salvation for season three.
Now that we know that it’s some sort of alien intelligence, instead of an astroid, at least I want to know what kind of alien intelligence it is. Hopefully the writers have decided upon something more positive than the usual “they have come to kill us” scenario. A benevolent alien intelligence would be interesting, especially with the ruthless people that are orbiting the earth in the ark. Sets up some pretty dramatic tension.
Again, please renew for season three.
Please renew Salvation! Was a great suspenseful show with great acting! Give it a chance to catch on! Dont leave us hanging!
