Do you watch Designated Survivor? Recently, we reported the ABC TV series might be getting a season two renewal. If it does, will you keep watching?
The political thriller follows Tom Kirkman (Kiefer Sutherland), a lower-level Cabinet member, who ends up becoming the President of the United States after an attack on the capital. The cast also includes Natascha McElhone, Adan Canto, Italia Ricci, LaMonica Garrett, Tanner Buchanan, Kal Penn, and Maggie Q.
Designated Survivor premiered in September to a strong 2.24 rating in the 18-49 demo and 10.037 million viewers. And while the numbers have declined, the show is still a consistent performer for ABC. Currently, the series is averaging a 1.35 rating in the 18-49 demo and 6.203 million viewers.
What do you think? Are you a fan of the political drama? Would you watch a second season of Designated Survivor?
Love this program. I’m in my 70’s and think this is very well written and one of the best on. I look forward to watching it every week. Please don’t cancel it.
I am a fan of the show as well as a fan of the current and past show 24. I am a over 50 male Afro American and I think the networks often over look the popularity of intelligent show with this demographic
We love this show and look forward to watching it every week. Please don’t cancel it. It is one of the very few good shows on TV.
I would absolutely continue watching. One of the best shows on TV!!
Renew – it’s great!!
I agree with Marilynn — I wanted to write Keifer Sutherland in as my presidential vote in January, but couldn’t spare the vote for my true preference. The show is my favorite. After nearly 10 years of watching mostly CBS and only 2 ABC shows, now it’s up to 4 on ABC. I can’t stand violence, constant talking with no action, and constant arguing.
I thoroughly enjoy this show. It’s intelligently written and timely in content. Keifer is outstanding (I’d vote for him for president!) I sincerely hope there are more seasons!
I hope this show continues. I think Keifer is a great star. His mother Shirley and I went to school in Regina, Saskatchewan and his grandfather was Tommy Douglas who was Premier of Saskatchewan.
No! We won’t watch another season. We’ve already stopped watching this season. There is too much real-life political drama and backstabbing as it is. Besides, as an older couple, we have to close caption to understand the actors because they all talk so fast. For those who like the show, I hope it is renewed because we can always find something else to watch
Absolutely! And I’ve got my friends binge watching all the episodes now, too!!!!
Yes we would but on Hulu. Netflex and Hulu together so much cheaper then cable or dish. Good show, but don’t see how they can get too many seasons out of this show.
Yes–This is one of our favorite shows.
Designated Survivor is about hope in the extreme face of diversity. So many negative happenings in our world right now, Designated Survivor shows us there is still hope for our crumbling country. Season two….PLEASE!!!
YES, I Love this show.
Of course this show deserves another season and plus Keither Sutherland shines in this series
