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?
Loved this show…so timely and smart. Please continue…I will definitely watch this program!
I very much enjoy the series. I hope another network will pick it up and continue on with it.
I really enjoyed this adult show. I would certainly watch another season and more.
Will miss the show. Would watch a 7th season
Make a 7th season of Madam Secretary!
Listen to the viewers. Quit making up dumb tv shows
There certainly should be a seventh season of Madam Secretary.
CBS trashes Madam Secretary and starts theses dumb shows that are entirely stupid.
There should be 10 more seasons of Madam Secretary.
CBS does not know what tv audiences want
This a shame
I would watch a 7th season
No netflix please. We don’t have that. lol Loved this series. Would love to see it continue for a seventh season. Would definitely watch!
I loved the stories and the way Elizabeth McCord resolves complicated and true to life situations. I was hoping the ending (at the end of 20 plus episodes) would include an epilogue that showed she successfully completed 2 terms.
This blunt closure feels unsatisfying. I would have watched Madame President!
Love this show!!!!!! the actors are great and the issues are real and pertinent!!!!! Hate to see this end…. but thanks for the 6 seasons and great entertainment…… any one up for a continuation on Netflix….hope hope
I love this show and hate to see it end. I would definitely love to see it continue!
I loved Madam Secretary! I was disappointed when I read that this was the last season. More disappointed when I realized that there were only 10 episodes to end it. Because of this “quick” timing, too much was crammed into the last episode. However, thank you for tying up loose ends. And…I would watch shows following our newly weds, new/old reconnections etc.
I am so upset that Madam Secretary is over. Please continue this show into a full 6th season and a 7th! One of the best shows on TV!
Yes, please continue the story especially since all the cast came back. Move along with their stories,.
Am absolutely heartbroken that Madam Secretary is over. Have my fingers crossed that CBS All Access will revive the storyline just like they did with the Good Wife/the Good Fight!
