Designated Survivor is losing a core castmember. TVLine reports Virginia Madsen will not return for season two of the ABC TV series.
During season one, Madsen recurred as congresswoman Kimble Hookstraten on the political thriller. The cast also includes Kiefer Sutherland, Natascha McElhone, Adan Canto, Italia Ricci, LaMonica Garrett, Tanner Buchanan, Kal Penn, and Maggie Q.
On Twitter, Madsen said her exit has to do with creative changes on Designated Survivor. However, all may not be lost. Madsen did mention she’d love to return to the ABC show in the future:

What do you think? Are you a fan of Designated Survivor? Will you watch season two without Virginia Madsen?
I love this program best ever I will watch without Virginia Madsen
Like the show but don’t like how they just make characters disappear (Madsen was a great character…never knowing which side she was on)! What happened to the Vice President? There can’t be a President and no Vice President! And now they are bringing in all the race crap. Don’t we get enough of this on the fake news channels! Come on…back to entertainment!
Yes! Love the show; will miss Virginia Madsen’s character though. Love Keifer!
Miss 24 so much; had to get used to the fact that this was NOT Jack Bauer. 🙂
I will really miss her, her character added so much. I will definitely continue watching this excellent show!E
will still watch its very gripping!!
