Netflix saved Designated Survivor from cancellation last year, picking up the Kiefer-Sutherland-starring political drama when ABC tried to cancel it. Now, we’ve got the first trailer for Designated Survivor season 3…

The official Netflix press centre offers this synopsis for the upcoming season: “President Kirkman (Sutherland) will face a political reality… campaigning. What does it take to make a leader? What price will he be willing to pay? This season will explore today’s world of campaigning, smear tactics, debates, campaign finance and “fake news.” Democracy, as we know it, will hang in the balance.”

“I am thrilled to have the opportunity to play President Kirkman for season 3 of ‘Designated Survivor’ with Netflix, eOne and Neal Baer,” said Kiefer Sutherland when the show was saved. “I believe this format will allow us to continue to delve deeply into storylines and issues concerning the American electorate that were not previously possible.”

Mark Gordon, who executive produces the show, said this: “The continuation of the show via Netflix is a win-win for all involved. The story of President Kirkman and those around him has not been fully told and we look forward to working with our new partner in continuing the show for a global audience.”

Designated Survivor season 3, consisting of ten episodes, will arrive on Netflix on 7th June. We’ll bring you more news as we hear it.
