'Designated Survivor' Gets Canceled at Netflix

First, it suffered a cancellation then it was revived, and now it is canceled yet again. Having gone through pretty much a roller-coaster ride, Designated Survivor has now been canceled at Netflix. As known to all, the first couple of seasons of the show aired on ABC but the channel canceled the show after those two seasons.

Back in September 2018, the series was revived by Netflix for a third season. But it has now been confirmed that this third season of the series is its last. The show starred Kiefer Sutherland as a low-level cabinet secretary who becomes President of the United States.

“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 Bear for his guiding vision and a 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.”

Also getting canceled after just one season at Netflix is Tuca & Bertie. The show was an animated series that starred Tiffany Hadish and Ali Wong as the two title characters, a pair of 30-year-old bird-women. “Lisa Hanawalt created a relatable yet whimsical world in ‘Tuca & Bertie,'” Netflix said. “We’re grateful to Lisa, and her fellow executive producers Raphael Bob-Waksberg, Noel Bright, Steven A. Cohen, and EPs/stars Tiffany Haddish and Ali Wong, along with all of the writers and animators for sharing the funny and dynamic female bird duo of Tuca and Bertie with the world. While Tuca & Bertie won’t have a second season, we’re proud to feature this story on Netflix for years to come.”
