Kiefer Sutherland’s return to TV was by all means a runaway success this season as audiences flocked to the new ABC drama Designated Survivor. Sutherland plays President Tom Kirkman, who only becomes President when a horrific nuclear attack on our nation’s capital leaves him as the highest ranking official in the U.S. government. The season finale (but don’t worry, it’s already been renewed for Season 2) jumped up two slots in the XFINITY Weekly Top 20 On Demand rankings, and checked in at No. 2. Catch up on past episodes right here.
Catch Up: It’s been quite a ride for Michael, Lincoln, Sarah and company on the revived Prison Break. The fans spoke, and FOX brought back the series for this current 9-episode installment. Find out how it all ends Tuesday night with the season finale and catch up on past episodes right here.
Hot Series: The Leftovers is one of those series that you’ve heard all your friends talk about, but most likely haven’t watched yet. It’s a cult classic that tries to explain what happened when a small percentage of the Earth’s population disappeared, without a trace. Justin Threoux stars and it’s from the masterful mind of JJ Abrams (Lost). Catch up on all past episodes right here before the series finale airs this Sunday.
This Week’s Premieres: Animal Kingdom (TNT – Tuesday), World of Dance (NBC – Tuesday), The F Word with Gordon Ramsay (FOX – Wednesday), Nashville (CMT – Thursday), I’m Dying Up Here (Showtime – Sunday), Fear the Walking Dead (AMC – Sunday)
