Audiences Haven’t Forgotten ‘Designated Survivor’

It looks like absence does indeed make the heart grow fonder. Or at least TV viewers want to catch up on their favorite shows. Kiefer Sutherland’s first-year drama Designated Survivor returned from a nearly 3-month long winter hiatus and entered our XFINITY Weekly Top 20 On Demand list with a bang, jumping in all the way at the #3 slot. The conspiracy is growing even larger, and President Tom Kirkman is facing threats from all sides.

NBC’s juggernaut This Is Us continues its reign atop the list, holding down the #1 spot yet again. Love and Hip Hop Atlanta had a notable premiere (entering at the #5 spot) as the juicy drama continues to sizzle.
