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?
Love it… keep it going…
Love it keep it going
Great show! Love Kiever. RVS
I AM SO GLAD FOR SEASON 2! ALWAYS ON EDGE OF WHAT COMES NEXT!! I EVEN GOT MY FAMILY INTO IT AND THEY CANT GET ENOUGH OF IT, I LOVE CONVERSATING ABOUTH THE EPISODES WE WATCH ☺
I am glad it’s coming back. Thank you ABC
Omg, ABC didn’t cancel designated survivor. Well thats a shock! After canceling Dr Ken and last man standing but renewing shark tank. This is the days of reality tv. Television was meant to take our minds off of our everyday struggles and take us away from reality. Its a whole new world of television. Reality tv wins on all networks. The death of good non reality shows.
Love this show!!!! Not since Hero’s has a show had my dad and I looking forward to the next episode. no idea where this show is going, and I LOVE IT!!!
Renewal is good only as long as Maggie Q remains a good guy. A little too much insider betrayal almost too frustrating to watch. Hannah Wells is best character, also great are Italia’s character and Seth. The former pres was a great addition.
Glad to hear that there will be a season 2. Great drama.
One of the best shows on TV. My husband and I look forward to watching it every week. Going to miss seeing it in the off season. Very happy knowing that it will be back next season! Good decision ABC. Hope this series will be on for many years to come.
Great show! I only watch a few..this is one of them.
One of the best series in years!!! Keep up the good work.
Glad to hear the news, I enjoy this show greatly. I hope the writers pay careful attention to the ratings in season 2, and don’t leave us hanging if things are not going well. I am always so annoyed when they continue to write up to a big season finale cliffhanger regardless of their chances of renewal, and then act all shocked when the show is cancelled. The viewers are the ones who get shafted.
This is an awesome show and we are so happy it’s been renewed. Just love it!
the show sucks
Then by all means Frank don’t watch it.
