Daytime alum Jennifer Finnigan (ex-Bridget, THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL) has been cast in a starring role for SALVATION, a new primetime drama coming to CBS this summer!
“Keeping busy,” the actress posted to Instagram. “Very excited for this new endeavor.”
Finnigan will be playing Grace Darrow, a woman juggling the difficult jobs of Pentagon press secretary and single mom, according to The Hollywood Reporter. When an MIT grad student brings her evidence that an asteroid is six months away from crashing into the Earth, she must work with the government’s secret task force to save humanity while keeping the horrible truth from those she loves.
Liz Kruger and Craig Shapiro, who worked together on the Halle Berry sci-fi drama EXTANT, wrote the script and will serve as showrunners of SALVATION as well as executive producers.
