Designated Survivor has some new company. Deadline reports Lauren Holly and Benjamin Watson have joined season three of the Netflix TV show.

On Designated Survivor, Holly will be playing “Lynn Harper, the daughter of a renowned Virginia senator, who is married to Mars Harper, Kirkman’s new Chief of Staff.” Meanwhile, Watson has been cast as “Dontae Evans, a mid-20s Digital Officer in the West Wing.”
Season three of Designated Survivor is slated to debut on Netflix in 2019.

So glad to hear it’s been renewed, now if they would just announce when it will air, that would make everything good!
I can’t wait – I had no idea that it had been saved! Huge fan of Keifer
Big mistake It’s a shame that ABC cancelled Designated Survivor but Designated Survivor being on Netflix for Season 3 is another big mistake. Designated Survivor belong on CBS on Wednesday night will bring success to CBS not Netflix Designated Survivor on Netflix is a big mistake headed for failure on Netflix.
