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.

What do you think? Are you glad that the Madam Secretary TV show has been renewed for a sixth season? Would you have been upset if CBS had cancelled this TV series instead?
This was a great show and still would be if they hadn’t added that disgusting character played by Sarah Ramirez!
I hope Madam Secretary has not been cancelled.
I have loved every episode and every season of Madam Secretary. I know it is very popular in the UK. Can’t wait to see what happens in series 6. Surely this will open the way for a new series called Madam President.
Best show on TV. Intelligent, kind, smart, moral….classy. Please give us another season!!
Please, Please DO NOT cancel this show. We love what this show teaches our girls.
Renew for season 6 I’m sure with her on the campaign trail it will drawl more viewers.
M Sec needs at least a couple seasons! Once she becomes president, the show will attract a whole new following. So many in our country yearn for a strong, courageous leader. Elizabeth McChord as president will be an entire new ballgame.
One or two more seasons please
Watching Madam Secretary has been a way to keep our sanity during such divisiveness in our Government the past 2 years. Our nation needs to see honor, unity, inclusiveness, truth and integrity in our leadership. Madam Secretary has been that source for us. Hopefully we will see a new season as Madam President.
Would love to see more seasons of M Sec please!
Love to see more episodes! Very good series, enjoyed it very much!
renew madam sec
Would love to see Madame President !! PLEASE !!!!!!!
Would love to see a “new” iteration: Madam President!
It’s not very often that I really enjoy TV shows. This one definitely is one that I watch regularly and if I can’t stay up till the time it starts then the DVR has it ready for me the next morning with my coffee. Outside of West wing, this is one of the best political drama/comedy/action show I’ve seen ever. Please do not cancel! Renew, renew, renew!
