What’s This TV Show About?
A CBS political thriller, Madam Secretary stars Téa Leoni, Tim Daly, Sara Ramirez, Željko Ivanek, Keith Carradine, Sebastian Arcelus, Patina Miller, Geoffrey Arend, Erich Bergen, Kathrine Herzer, Wallis Currie-Wood, and Evan Roe. The drama follows the shrewd, determined Elizabeth McCord (Leoni). As U.S. Secretary of State, she battles office politics, while driving diplomacy and negotiating global deals.
Elizabeth was once a CIA analyst, who exited that post for ethical reasons. She later returned to public life, at the request of President Conrad Dalton (Carradine). He values her apolitical leanings, knowledge of the Middle East, flair for languages, and unconventional thinking. Elizabeth is married to Henry (Daly), a former theology professor who is now an intelligence operative. Together, they’re bringing up three children, which can really test her diplomatic skills.

Telly’s Take
Will CBS cancel or renew Madam Secretary for season six? This show’s numbers haven’t been very good but it’s hung on just the same. I could see this being the final year but suspect they’ll give it one last renewal. Subscribe for free updates on any Madam Secretary cancellation or renewal news.

I live in Singapore and have been following the series up untill it was taken off or should I say “Sony Entrainment Network decided to not renew its relations with the network. Can I know which network provider has taken up the series in Asia or Singapore in particular.
Can you assist. THANK YOU.
Why? I so look forward to this program! Good actors..every time a good show comes on you cancel it! Must be more sports to be put on….
Hope it will return after 2020 election. Suspect there was political pressure to end because of influencing voting. It is too close to reality TV!
The new title for 2020 should be Madame President.
I love the show madam secretary and wish it would continue even beyond another season 6 to show that a woman can do the job. The right woman.
Love Madame Secretary, hope it goes on for a very long time
