With season three airing on Netflix rather than ABC, the series will be quite different.
According to an interview showrunner Neal Baer did with TV Line, season three is a mix between The West Wing, ER, “with a little [Law & Order] SVU in it too.”
He also said that Netflix told him: “You can go much further, deeper, darker, edgier, and be more realistic, and that was great for us.”
Season three will also introduce six new lead characters, alongside five returning ones.
Kiefer Sutherland will be back, as will Kal Penn, Italia Ricci and Maggie Q.
The synopsis for the season reveals it will focus on President Kirkman (played by Kiefer Sutherland) trying to get re-elected.
The summary reads: “In the new season, President Kirkman will face a political reality – campaigning.
“This season will explore today’s world of campaigning, smear tactics, debates, campaign finance and ‘fake news.’”
