(ABC / Sven Frenzel)
Designated Survivor has a new leader. Deadline reports Keith Eisner will join the ABC TV series as showrunner for season two.
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 massive attack on the capital. The cast also includes Natascha McElhone, Adan Canto, Italia Ricci, LaMonica Garrett, Tanner Buchanan, Kal Penn, and Maggie Q.
While ABC has not officially renewed Designated Survivor for a second season yet, it’s more than likely. And now, the hiring of Eisner as the showrunner for season two heavily suggests a renewal is right around the corner.
Eisner will be the show’s fourth showrunner, succeeding Amy B. Harris, Jon Harmon Feldman, and Jeff Melvoin.
What do you think? Are you a fan of Designated Survivor? Will you watch season two?

Love love love this show!!
I look forward to every Wednesday nite…LUV THIS SHOW please renew
I love this show. The way the government is being staffed and run in 2017, it feels like a designated survivor has taken over.
Please cancel the show. It’s too archaic
This show rocks! Don’t like it, DONT WATCH!
Um , archaic? Has there been a new show about the same thing released that no one knows about that is more modern?
i love this series, best for a long time, keep it going!!
It’s a very good show, and the +3 and +7 make up for the low live ratings, but they’re on their 4th show runner already. It will need a miracle to get past season two.
Looking forward to season two. Great cast,great story line. Let’s keep this show going
Eagerly awaiting season 2 and beyond. If only we could get a *real* Tom Kirkman in the White House…
I really love this show and make time every week to see it. Scary to think this could happen in reality.
I absolutely love this show. I am a big fan of The West Wing, and Designated Survivor is, IMO another political hit. Looking forward to Season 2 in the fall.
