Netflix will not be picking up a new season of "Designated Survivor", starring Kiefer Sutherland.
Netflix rescued it by picking up its third season last September after its cancellation by ABC following months of complex deal making. At the time, the streaming service and studio eOne made one-year deals with the cast for a third season only.
Some of the actors have already moved on — for instance Kal Penn is toplining a new comedy series on NBC. The three produced seasons will continue to be available on Netflix globally.
“We are proud to have offered fans a third season of Designated Survivor, and will continue to carry all three seasons for years to come,” Netflix said in a statement. “We’re especially thankful to star and executive producer Kiefer Sutherland, who brought passion, dedication and an unforgettable performance as President Kirkman.
We’re also grateful to showrunner/executive producer Neal Baer for his guiding vision and steady hand, creator/executive producer David Guggenheim and EPs Mark Gordon, Suzan Bymel, Simon Kinberg, Aditya Sood and Peter Noah along with the cast and crew who crafted a compelling and satisfying final season.”
