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.
Season Five Ratings
The fifth season of Madam Secretary averaged a 0.56 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 5.41 million viewers. Compared to season four, that’s down by 9% and 12%, respectively. Find out how Madam Secretary stacks up against the other CBS TV shows.
Madam Secretary has been renewed for a sixth and final season which will debut TBD. Stay tuned for further updates.
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 love this show please renew Madam Secretary. Great topics and storytelling.
My favorite show of all time!! Would like another season.
Enjoy the show very much. Would like another season.
Please renew, excellent, inspiring program.
Love it! Very timely with current events. Well written and acted. Just enough family life thrown into the daily life of the Secretary of State. Helps viewers understand world events and the workings of the Oval Office staff. I would hate to see it taken off the air!
One of the best shows currently on TV. Probably won’t survive, but it should.
Good show. Never use to watch it.
Sorry I didnt. Watching reruns and a lot of scenarios have come true.
Definitely think they should renew. I watch the show on Netflix, not TV, and I guess I shouldn’t do that since it doesn’t help ratings, huh?
Excellent show. Highly entertaining. Definitely need a spin off for Madame President!
Excellent show. Love it! Love it! Love it! Bring on season 6, 7, 8, 9……maybe a spin off where the McCord kids become involved in politics!
SHAI LOVthis series. Please do not cancel
I love this show don’t get rid of it please. it one of our favorites!
Only cancel Madam Secretary if it is to become Madam President! We love it!
Love, love, love this show. I subscribe CBS prime access due to Madam Secretary. I watch the past seasons episodes over and over between Mondays when I watch the next new episode. My only question is, when will the show title change to Madam President?!
Please renew Madam Secretary for the Fall of 2019!! We love the show. It offers a good insight into our government and all the good work the State Department does.
PLEASE keep Madam Secretary for another year!! We absolutely LOVE watching this:) We aren’t able to watch it in real time but watch it on the CBS app in Monday’s.
