(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.

Great show, please renew it for a new season. Love watching it!
I really like Designated Survivor” and hope it will be renewed. I enjoy all the plots and feel they are getting better and better. All the new political shows are quite interesting and enjoyable. Keep renewing all of them.
Kiefer Sutherland is a gifted actor. The guy who did it all, by himself, in “24” has surprised me in his new, but effective role as a staff builder, and nation builder.
His supporting cast is priceless. I am particularly impressed by his press secretary.
I am excited at the probability of a second season. I have not, nor will I, miss an episode.
Me too. I was a bit dodgy on Kiefer Sutherland playing that role, but he’s great. Bring on Season 2!
I really enjoy this series.
Yes for sure ….. love the show.
