I mean, of course, what best than to gain knowledge and thrill at the same time, watching the characters?

Season 4 Updates?
Designated Survivor has very good ratings right now. The show has a rating of 7.5/10 on IMDb and a score of 71% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Even though some call the show “politically incorrect” but fans still love the show. The ending of Season 3 shocked many fans.
Season 3 saw Kirkman run a very dirty re-election campaign. The end of Season 3 saw Kirkman get reelection as the President of the United States.
Many characters got new jobs in the administration, but Kirkman revealed many of his dirty secrets to his therapists. The shocking reveals have left fans asking for another season.

Season 4 Cancelled?
The show has been cancelled once before. ABC cancelled the show in May 2018. But after seeing the fans ask for a Season 3, Netflix decided to pick up the show for a 3rd season.
Clearly, fans were very excited about this. After seeing the great ratings and viewership numbers for Season 3, many thought a Season 4 would come for sure.
But Netflix did not do the fans a favour for a second time. In July 2019, Netflix cancelled the show.
There hasn’t been any news after that, per se. Nonetheless, fans went into hysteria after they realized they wouldn’t get to see any more of the show.
Fans have been hoping that Netflix will reverse its decision but Kiefer Sutherland (Thomas Kirkman) has also bid goodbye to the show already.
Netflix has not given any updates about a renewal. This means that Season 3 Episode 10 is the last ever episode of Designated Survivor.
Breaks your heart too, right? *sobs*. Come here, we’ll wail together.
