ABC’s Kiefer Sutherland drama series “Designated Survivor” has cast two new young actors.
Tanner Buchanan will be a series regular and McKenna Grace will recur on the drama, which was ordered straight to series in December.
Sutherland plays Tom Kirkman, a low-level cabinet member who becomes president after everyone before him in line to the office dies in a catastrophic attack during the State of the Union.
Buchanan will play Leo Kirkman, Tom’s 16-year-old son who is described as rebellious and self-absorbed but steps up to the plate when he needs to comfort his little sister, Penny (Grace).
Natascha McElhone, Maggie Q, Kal Penn, Italia Ricci and Adan Canto are also set to star.
