While some new series have not yet started, others can boast of being small successes, like two new series Designated Survivor and Speechless which already get the order of 9 additional episodes…

The ABC network was not mistaken in offering the two novelties Designated Survivor and Speechless, since they both get the famous order of 9 additional episodes, or 22 episodes for the first season.

It is with great audiences that they win the famous sesame, since Designated Survivor, the series that marks the return of Kiefer Sutherland (24, Touch) on television, has seduced 10 million curious for its pilot with a rate of 2.2 on 18-49 years, while the comedy Speechless, carried by actress Minnie Driver (About a boy ), gathered for its season premiere more than 7.3 million viewers. After a slight drop for the second episode, ABC does not take too many risks with these two future hits!

As a reminder, Designated Survivor (the first season will soon be available in D+1 on Netflix) plunges us into the story of a politician who finds himself propelled to the head of the United States when an attack eliminates the government in place, while Speechless follows the adventures of a mother who takes care of her disabled son.

It should also be noted that the NBC comedy The Good Place, despite very good ratings and very good reviews, will not have more than 13 episodes for its first season.
