Designated Survivor canceled again, this time by Netflix

Unfortunately, it seems Designated Survivor is running out of life buoys.

The drama, which was canceled by ABC last spring, was given a second chance at Netflix in September 2018, when he commissioned a third season of 10 episodes.

But now, the streaming service has removed the series, which means there will be no fourth season.
