Designated Survivor is nearing the end of its second season, but will it get a third? Recently, star Kiefer Sutherland spoke with Digital Spy about the future of the ABC TV show.
The political drama follows Tom Kirkman (Kiefer Sutherland), a lower-level Cabinet member who ends up becoming the President of the United States after an attack on Washington D.C. The cast also includes Adan Canto, LaMonica Garrett, Kal Penn, Maggie Q, Malik Yoba, Paulo Costanzo, Zoe McLellan, Ben Lawson, Tanner Buchanan, and Mckenna Grace.
In the interview, Sutherland revealed he believes ABC will renew Designated Survivor for a third season:
“I do believe it is [coming back], but nothing is ever written in stone. I think television is such an exciting format right now, and so much great work is being done. [But] I think networks are very challenged by how to keep up.”
And when will we know? Sutherland says sometime in May:
Do I believe we’re going to do a third season? Yes. Is that a guarantee? Not until, I think, May 15. So we’ll see, we’ll see.”
What do you think? Do you watch Designated Survivor? Do you want a third season?
Can’t believe most of my favorite shows are cancelled. This is one of the best! Please don’t cancel Designated Survivor!
I agree with Sutherland, One way or another, ABC must renew the third season of Designated Survivor or I will ask other channels including Netflix and eOne will have it. ABC channel give us back Designated Survivor!
I think it is a great show and should have a third season. Ill be very disappointed if it isnt.
Please don’t cancel Designated Survivor.
I love DesignatedSurvivor,it’s a good show.I hope it’s renewed.
It has been cancelled. Well I guess with all my shows being cancelled I am going to be getting rid of my cable.
Great show with extraordinary writers. If ABC cancels I hope FOX picks it up and creates an earlier time slot which I think is a problem. If only we could have a president like Tom Kirkman!!
bummer it got cancelled.
I totally love this show. Praying for a season 3
I am totally hooked on Designated Survivor and I really hope they keep it around for another season. Whether it’s fact or fiction , it’s refreshing to see a president who genuinely cares about the people of his country.
We are fans of Designated Survivor and truly hope there will be Many, Many, Seasons of this series. We find it entertaining, good characters, good writing, thoughtful in how they work issues out, and a President who is a Christian, Honest, Thinks before he reacts and is not like the normal politician. Great show we hope it stays!!
Yes, Yes & Yes! Love the series!
I sincerely hope Designated Survivor gets picked up for a third season. Kiefer Sutherland is wonderful as the “President.” They just need to make the “set” of the White House less “cheap looking. They have improved the woodwork, but had a bare, basic look to the room that are full of architectural detail in real life.
Love this show…hoping it gets renewed. It is one of the only shows my hubby and I watch!
Best show ever! Kiefer knows how to do it right!
