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.

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.

Please renew. It’s a great show. I love the acting , the character depth and humanity, the plot relevance and how it shows governing decisions and policies are not black and white but have many shades of gray.
Renew. Relevant show and great characters

Please renew! I am hooked. Intelligently written & superbly acted series.
Renew. Mom and I love this show.
Please renew! It’s one of the few network shows I watch regularly. I have learned so much about politics and I love that the topics are timely. So much better than most of the reality tv shows out there.
It would be a shame to not renew such s well written and acted show. Forget the ratings
I’m really hoping for more seasons of Madam Secretary. This is a great show and reminds me of The West Wing with its excellent writing and terrific cast. This show brings people together and we need that in our time. I’m not an American but this show makes me believe the best of what America can be.
My husband and I love Madam Secretary. Please renew it for Season 6!
