CBS has announced a new summer series, Salvation, that will premiere on Wednesday, July 12 at 9/8c on CBS and CBS All Access. The 13 episode run will join the network's already hugely popular summer line-up beside Big Brother and Zoo. The show will will be set just six months before an asteroid is due to collide with Earth and focuses on the people who first realize what's about to happen.
The new one-hour suspense thriller centers on an MIT grad student and a tech superstar who will bring a low-level Pentagon official their staggering discovery.
"Salvation is the type of fast-paced, dramatic ride that viewers look for in a summer event series," said President of CBS Entertainment Glenn Geller.

Kurtzman is also one of the executive producers behind CBS's upcoming series Star Trek: Discovery, which will run exclusively on CBS All Access.
