Kiefer Sutherland is the Designated Survivor in trailer for ABC’s new show

Emmy and Golden Globe-winning actor Kiefer Sutherland (“24”) returns to primetime in a conspiracy thriller as Tom Kirkman, a lower-level cabinet member who unexpectedly becomes president after a devastating attack on Washington. He will struggle to prevent the country and his own family from falling into chaos, as he is thrust into one of the most difficult presidencies in history.

The pilot is directed by Paul McGuigan, and also stars Kiefer Sutherland, Natascha McElhone, Maggie Q, Kal Penn, Adan Canto, Italia Ricci, LaMonica Garrett, and Tanner Buchanan.

Good to see Kal Penn in there as he was Barack Obama’s Associate Director of Public Engagement for a while.

I like the look of this.
