15 Most Hotly Anticipated New TV Shows Still To Come In 2016

15. Designated Survivor (ABC)

This was one of the consensus picks for being among the most promising new fall series unveiled during Upfronts back in May, and with good reason. The trailer was pretty exciting, and it features Kiefer Sutherland finally landing the role he was clearly born to play: President of the United States.

Sutherland will be the titular 'designated survivor', a cabinet member who is taken to a secret, secure location in the event of a disaster befalling the current President. When there's a devastating attack on Washington, Sutherland's Tom Kirkman is the man who suddenly finds himself thrust into the role of being the POTUS, at an incredibly critical time for the country.

The cast is rounded out by the likes of Maggie Q and Kal Penn (those years working for Obama paying off on screen), and it's definitely one of the more exciting network shows on the way this year.
