Designated Survivor has some new company. Deadline reports Ben Lawson has joined season two of the ABC TV show.
The political thriller follows Tom Kirkman (Kiefer Sutherland), a low-level Cabinet member who becomes President of the United States after an attack on the Capitol. The cast also includes Natascha McElhone, Adan Canto, Italia Ricci, LaMonica Garrett, Tanner Buchanan, Kal Penn, and Maggie Q.
On Designated Survivor, Lawson will play “Damian Rennett, an MI-6 operative who meets Hannah (Maggie Q) while posing as a Dutchman in Amsterdam.” He joins fellow new cast member Paulo Costanzo.
Season two of Designated Survivor debuts this fall on ABC.
What do you think? Have you seen season one of Designated Survivor? Will you watch season two?
I absolutely Love Designated Survivor! I was very upset when they killed off Alex but I still Love it and cant believe they’re canceling it for season three. Such a good family man with great morrals, instead of a corrupt politition. One of the few really good shows on TV that isn’t full of sex and adultery. Big mistake canceling it. One less show I can let my grandkids watch with me. I will definitely miss it!
CAN;T wait for season 2!!!!! A premiere date would be nice(looking at you,ABC).
Great show, can’t wait to see more.
Addictive. Highly addictive to this show. Just hope the first lady is NOT killed off. Episode 10 has left us hanging in dread.
