Designated Survivor: Cancelled by Netflix, No Season Four for Kiefer Sutherland Series

by Trevor Kimball, July 25, 2019

Designated Survivor TV show on Netflix: canceled, no season 4President Kirkman’s term is over. Last year, ABC cancelled the Designated Survivor TV show after two low-rated seasons. Netflix picked up the series for a third season but has now decided not to order a fourth season.

A political thriller, Designated Survivor stars Kiefer Sutherland, Natascha McElhone, Adan Canto, LaMonica Garrett, Kal Penn, Maggie Q, Malik Yoba, Paulo Costanzo, Zoe McLellan, Ben Lawson, Tanner Buchanan, and Mckenna Grace. The conspiracy drama series centers on Tom Kirkman (Sutherland). After an attack on Capitol Hill wipes out the line of succession, this HUD Secretary becomes President of the United States.

Sutherland recently said that he was doubtful that a fourth season would happen. He explained, “I don’t think series four is going to happen. We had an amazing experience with Netflix, and a kind of freedom that was wonderful – but the reality is, because the contracts were so complicated and different from network television to Netflix etc, they didn’t book a lot of the actors that were on the show, and they took other jobs, and I don’t blame them for a second for that.”

Today, Netflix made the cancellation official with a statement: “We are proud to have offered fans a third season of Designated Survivor, and will continue to carry all three seasons for years to come. We’re especially thankful to star and executive producer Kiefer Sutherland, who brought passion, dedication and an unforgettable performance as President Kirkman. We’re also grateful to showrunner/executive producer Neal Baer for his guiding vision and steady hand, creator/executive producer David Guggenheim and EPs Mark Gordon, Suzan Bymel, Simon Kinberg, Aditya Sood and Peter Noah along with the cast and crew who crafted a compelling and satisfying final season.”

Say it ain’t so, this show is such a refreshing change from other shows of it’s kind. President Kirkman showed us similar creative sort of thinking that Madam Secretary did for political issues. Kiefer Sutherland’s portrayal of President Kirkman added to the attraction of this show. Too bad our real elected officials don’t follow his lets do what is best for the people attitude. The rawness Netflix added wasn’t a bad thing either. I for one will miss this show terribly.

Why does Netflix keep doing this? We need at least one more season to wrap up the show. Don’t leave us hanging. This was a great show. I’m wondering why I continue to subscribe to Netflix when they keep cancelling all my favorite shows.

I’m very sad that Designated Survivor has been cancelled. The third season was amazing and I had hoped for several more to follow.

Why not get rid of a few other shows on netflix like riverdale like we need more stupid late soaps, Give the actors of this show good contracts and bring Designated Survivor back so we can all watch good tv again, I rather watch this show then most on tv now rethink this bring back the actors and the show and the star tell him he needs to come back and be here we binge watch this show and you take it off that’s stupid bring it back.

Enjoyed the first 2 seasons. Season 3 was a disappointment due to the vulgar language. I don’t understand why all the language and other r rated scenes have to be used in a decent movie.
