Could Designated Survivor be moving to Netflix? According to The Hollywood Reporter, the streaming service is considering picking up the cancelled ABC TV show for a third season.
As reported earlier, ABC has cancelled the political drama after two seasons. The cast includes 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.
Per THR, Netflix is thinking about saving Designated Survivor for a third season. The streaming service holds the international SVOD rights to the political drama and has a history of rescuing cancelled network series.
However, sources say there is no deal on the table yet since Hulu holds the U.S. streaming rights to Designated Survivor and it’s an expensive show to produce.
What do you think? Are you a fan of Designated Survivor? Would you watch the show on Netflix?
Would love to see more of Designated Survivor. Hope Netflix picks it up!
YES! It is an awesome show. Always on the edge.
That would be awesome if Netflix saved (or Hulu, for that matter, but I’d rather Netflix since I’m subscribed to it). Loved the show and was sad to see it go. Kiefer Sutherland is awesome; I was a huge fan of 24 back in the day.
Yes, My Husband and I are huge fans of Designated Survivor & would absolutely continue to watch on Netflix!!! Love the Characters and all the suspenseful episodes. We are sad that so many great shows get cancelled and so grateful to Netflix for bringing them back. Loved 24 with Kiefer Sutherland, and thrilled to see him lead in DS.
Absolutely! Loved it!
Bring it back. I have Netflix but not the streaming service. I would subscribe to streaming so I could watch DS and House of Cards.
It was an intriguing show just like 24 was for so many years. I don’t subscribe to any streaming services, but I would for Designated Servivor !!!
This high-quality series should itself become a designated survivor, and perhaps with Netflix’s help it will! By now the characters are very familiar and appear well-developed until they do something surprising or we learn something new about them. Also, in some cases their behavior and attitudes change based on their reactions to plot developments. Michael J. Foxx turns out to have a conscience, for example. The episodes in which incidents are resolved before these episodes end are cleverly handled as are the long-range plots that thread their way through these episodes. I’ve been surprised that none of my series-watching friends… Read more »
I hope Netflix will save Designated Survivor. The characters are not very familiar and appear well-developed until they do something surprising or we learn something new about them.

Definitely will watch on Netflix!
I would watch every episode sad it ended
Since this show was cancelled I have decided to cancel my cable.
Netflix is trying to save it but the biggest obstacle is that hulu owns the streaming rights for the show in the us and canada.
So please contact hulu and ask them to give the streaming rights to netflix.
I love the series and would definitely watch on Netflix, was looking forward to season 3 and beyond. As were many others I’ve spoken to, didn’t watch it on the night of the show, I would watch it after it aired due to scheduling.
