Trivia

After ABC cancelled Designated Survivor on May 12th, 2018, there were reports that Netflix was in talks to acquire the rights from ABC. At first, fans became hopeful of a possible renewal by the streaming service. But as the summer went on, there wasn't much heard of. Almost four months later on September 5th, 2018, it was officially announced that Netflix would indeed pickup the series for a third season and add the first two seasons as well. Production on season 3 of Designated Survivor is expected to begin in the early months of 2019, with all of its cast returning. See more
