It looks like Designated Survivor will live to see another day. ABC has renewed the dramatic TV show for a second season.
The political drama follows Tom Kirkman (Kiefer Sutherland), a lower-level Cabinet member, who ends up becoming the President of the United States after a major attack on the nation’s capital. The cast also includes Natascha McElhone, Adan Canto, Italia Ricci, LaMonica Garrett, Tanner Buchanan, Kal Penn, and Maggie Q.
Designated Survivor debuted in September to a strong rating of 2.24 in the 18-49 demo and 10.04 million viewers. And while the ratings have dropped over the course of its first season, the show is still a positive performer for ABC. So far, season one is averaging a 1.26 rating in the 18-49 demo and 5.88 million viewers, making it one of the network’s top-10 series for the 2016-2017 season.
What do you think? Have you seen Designated Survivor? Are you glad it’s been renewed for a second season?
Designed Survivor is a great show! Please keep it on air we are tired of all the reality shows!!!!
glad its been renewed. With the possible exception of the big bang theory this is the best, most intelligent show on tv since the west wing and 24 ended.
My husband and I love this show! Glad it was not cancelled.
Glad to see the return of Designated Survivor. It’s one of the few intelligent shows on.
Am anxious to see Designated Survivor come back. It’s the best show to come out in many years.
Happy to hear that the show will be on again this coming season.
I loved watching this series. I am glad it is coming back.
I am glad it has been renewed, I just wish some of it would run off to our politicians
Of course it should be renewed! It’s one of the best shows on TV, good grief, stupid question!
