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?
My wife and I have watched the show from the beginning. It is one of the few shows we really look forward to each week. This is one of the best series to hit TV in a very long time. The story lines are well presented, characters are well developed and the scripts are compact, well-written, intelligent, and deal with current and important issues. IThe interaction between family members on the series is fascinating. Cannot say enough about this series. It would be a travesty to end this show.
I love the tv series Madam Secretary. The wonderful cast and brilliant dialog make for a relatable, very intelligent, fun to watch show that leaves viewers wanting more.
I love the show.
It goes to show how out of touch CBS is with the audience. Madam Secretary is one of the best shows on television. Absurd to cancel it.
They should bring back Madam Secretary for a 7th 8th 9th and tenth season and beyond. Great show and I’ve even learned a few things that went over my head in real life. Why keep bringing great shows to a end. Time to watch Netflix full time.
Madam Secretary is a strong female leader seldom seen on CBS network. She is a role model, demonstrating a woman in power can still be a mother and a lover in a monogamous marriage while being on the world stage. Madam Secretary is in deep contrast with CBS’s male executives’ long horrible history of sexual misconduct. CBS should be doing everything possible to keep Madam Secretary on the air. Madam Secretary has been a strong role model. It demonstrates how women can lead under extreme pressure. Or because this program represents everything CBS has demonstrated it is not/has not been… Read more »
I have watched Madam Secretary from the beginning and I really love the show. So much so I bought every season – except 5 as its not released in Australia yet but will when it is.
Please reconsider keeping Madam Secretary going, I’m not a fan of reality tv and tired of great shows being cancelled.
This is one of the best series to hit TV in ages. The story lines are well presented, characters are well drawn and the scripts are compact. Cannot say enough about this series.
Please don’t end this show. It is one of the best shows on TV.
