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?
I’ll definitely miss this show
For once that we had a series where there was an intelligent woman of power in the lead,I am more than deceived by this decision. I hope it is to come up with a Madam President spinoff.
I would go for madam Pres sounds good to me
Love this show! Hope they decide to continue with Madame President! Glad they are not just finishing now though. Really like a tied up series!
I too am disappointed in this decision. However, if she did win the election and becomes president they would have to close out Madam Secretary in order to start Madam President. Right? Can’t have people running around calling her Madam Secretary if she’s Madam President.
Really disappointed to hear this. Truly love this show.
Should not cancel. There should to be season seven. Great show.
Love Madam Secretary look 4ward to every week each episode just flies in to short plz reconsider and make a series 7 it would be shame not to continue the best show on T.V
Very sad day…my 20 something kids and I love this show. Great acting, sets, scripts and topical stories!
Love the show and so do my 20 something children! Very sad.
It would be a travesty to not do Season 7….CBS what are you thinking! This is the best show on TV!
no Season 7.!?!?are you mad stupid
GREAT, GREAT show!! Hopefully a new show will materialize called “Madam President”!
I am very disappointed by this decision. I would have like to see a full sixth season and a seventh season and beyond.
Too bad~ I like the show!
Love this show and would’ve definitely watched a season 7….I’m sad there won’t be a season 7
