Designated Survivor season 2 winter finale: Prepare for big changes

The Designated Survivor season 2 winter finale is coming up on ABC tonight, and it goes without saying it’s a big one. What happens here is going to have a ripple effect throughout the show’s hiatus, and it should definitely give you a good bit to talk about. That is something that the series needs at the moment after struggling somewhat in the ratings this season. It needs to find a way to get some conversations going and hopefully, this episode will figure out a way to do just that.

So what exactly is going to happen, and how will it come about? We know that Alex Kirkman looks to be at the center of some stories, and here is what executive producer Keith Eisner was willing to say in a new interview with TV Guide:

“The nature of our West Wing family will change after this episode, or the structure of it. There’s a shattering and unexpected development that people won’t see coming, and it will affect the lives of the people in the White House, and beyond that, I don’t know how specific I want to get.”

So yeah … be worried about some of your favorite characters. This is a show that needs to shake things up and seems to want to shake things up. While we’d argue that the second half of season 2 is stronger than season 1, there are a few issues that need to be addressed still including just how many storylines are going on within a single episode. You’ve got some strong central characters and it wouldn’t hurt to simplify things. We say that especially with the knowledge of how much source material there is for the writers and producers to pull from. Just think about everything that is happening in the world today!

After the finale Designated Survivor looks to return following the conclusion of the Winter Olympics. We’ll have a little bit more news on that later tonight.
