Designated Survivor might not survive after all. Recently, star Kiefer Sutherland admitted a fourth season of the Netflix TV show is unlikely, RadioTimes reports.
The political thriller stars Sutherland as Tom Kirkman, a low-level cabinet member who becomes President of the United States after an attack on Capitol Hill. The cast also includes Adam Canto, Italia Ricci, Kal Penn, and Maggie Q.
During a recent interview on Scala Radio, Sutherland revealed a season four renewal for Designated Survivor is unlikely:
I don’t think series 4 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.”
Later, Sutherland said he is ready to move on from the Netflix series:
So I think doing a season 4 would be very complicated and difficult, and the truth is, I loved making that show – I also miss aspects of what I enjoyed about 24, which was something that was really visceral and physical, and so I think its time for us all to go and find something new to do.”
What do you think? Have you seen Designated Survivor? Would you watch a fourth season?
Without so many f words and a better script
I would watch it solely to see Italia Ricci.
Yes would like the season to continue for a fourth season
I wish I would love to watch season 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 until the very end.
I would watch a Season 4,5,6,7….. It’s a great show!!
We didn’t know it went to Netflix after Network show ended abruptly. Yes, would definitely watch a Season 4, after we catch up with missed episodes.
Yes SEASON 4 WRAP IT UP. DON’T LEAVE IT LIKE THAT KEIFER SUTHERLAND PLEASE
Yes I would watch season 4!
Yes I would definitely watch season 4!!! There are too many loose ends left to call it quits now!! Bring some closure to the story lines. Don’t just leave us hanging.
You’re right there. I agree with those that think too much swearing hurt the show since none up to that point. But not the reason to cancel. Too bad. I would watch. Loved Emily. I hope she finds a new job as she’s a star. Wonderful actress. Kal penn so much better than on how I met your mother.
