If Elizabeth McCord wants to become “Madam President”, she better hurry. CBS has announced that the Madam Secretary TV show will end with its upcoming sixth season. There will be just 10 episodes in the final season and they will begin airing in Fall 2019.
A 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.
CBS Entertainment president Kelly Kahl announced that there won’t be a seventh season at CBS’ upfronts press breakfast earlier today. Kahl said, “They’re going to do 10 episodes in the fall and tie up the storyline. We’re happy and excited to do that for Téa, the cast, and the audience. It’s hard when a show ‘just poofs and goes away.’ We like to be able to do this and send the show off with a great deal of respect and celebration. Everyone appreciates when we are able to do that.”
What do you think? Do you like the Madam Secretary TV show? Do you think season six is a good time to end this CBS TV show? Would you have watched a seventh season?
KEEP it going. it easily can go from Madam Secretary to Madam President. Tea`,Tim and the rest of the cast are all good. They each have a great storyline to continue. So disappointed that it has ended. I have binge watched the first 5 seasins on Netflix 2 additional times after watching each season live.
This easily could be at least 10 to 15 season show.
Don’t stop now.
I think it needs a final season to show the transition from Secretary of State to Madam President.
I find the series to be as believable as I hope the office would honestly be. Please keep it on to give me continued hope, please!!!!!
Granted now that Elizabeth has become President calling the show Madam Secretary is absurd. However, changing the name and her position shouldn’t cause the show to end, just to transform to its new iteration. Absolutely one of the best shows on television. Great cast, writing, acting, et al. CBS would be remiss in not picking up this theme and continuing forward. If not CBS then perhaps one of the streaming services. Regardless, with all the terrible programming on network television this show was one of the only reasons I kept my satellite. I could drop it and go all streaming… Read more »
My wife and I love this show. Watched it with anticipation every week.
We would watch season 7 and all other seasons. Please continue this awesome series.
Love loved and would continue to love and watch this show. I paid for cbs all access just to watch this particular show. Bring it back!!
Madam Secretary is an intelligent show. I watch it on Netflix and will be very disappointed when it is over. The next series could be named Madam President and continue with the same group – just a thought!
