Designated Survivor is a television political drama series that stars Kiefer Sutherland as Tom Kirkman, the mild mannered Secretary of Housing and Urban Development who is chosen to be the "designated survivor" during the President's State of the Union address. He then suddenly finds himself having to assume the mantle of the Presidency when a devastating attack on the US Capitol building wipes out nearly the entire US government during the speech. The series premiered in the US on ABC in 2016.
