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 was really upset that Madam Secretary is leaving, it is one of the best shows on T.V., something everybody can watch, I guess if it isn’t slap stick dumb or all sex and violence it gets cancelled.
I am CRUSHED Madam Secretary is being cancelled after season 6. I kept missing it because it followed football and I never knew what time it was going to start.
Bad on CBS’ part!
The network caused the lower ratings because of football season. And had NOTHING to do with the quality of the show and it’s cast or crew.
Madam Secretary is one of the best shows on TV. I am terribly disappointed it has been cancelled. It does seem that the shows that show intelligence don’t last which is sad. This show was a refreshing breath of fresh air. The writing is great and the actors are fantastic. I have watched all five seasons a couple of times now. It never gets old. I do hope CBS will renew with a show called Madam President with the same cast. It would help if it was on at a better time. It was constantly being pushed back because of… Read more »
I absolutely would have watched a season 7!!!!!!!!!! I just started watching the entire series from the beginning on Netflix. They should do the next series – Madam President – which I would be happy to watch.
You sound just like my sister, also named Connie!! I agree with you.
Yes I would have watched a season 7!!!!!!
One of my favorite shows. Ending already.
I would hope it would be to start “Madam President”
This is such a great series with great actors! I would watch many more. Although I missed a few time because the scheduling was changed unannounced. Why cancel a great series? Really I agree with everyone, one of the very few series that are good, really good! Don’t cancel it!
I would definitely watch several more seasons
I’m anger,their is know better TV show !
I think Madam Secretary is one of the best shows on TV.
I would happily watch Madam President. Madam secretary has kept me up at night this last couple of months binge watching all 5. Series. Brilliant show- best thing on TV
Please don’t cancel one of the few shows that are actually a joy to watch every week. Why end a good thing?
I have watch this series from the first episode. I think it is a great one. It makes sense to me. It is timely and on point for current events. I’m not saying I agree with everything that was presented, but I can understand both sides of the topics.
I will really miss this series. Hopefully another network will revive it in the spring.
Thanks so much for showing the politicians how to possibly do the right thing.
Real world situations and insight into the political scene are in short supply. This drama is as real, conflicted, and good as they come. Sorry to hear they’re going to end it.
I am stunned to read that you are canceling MADAME SECRETARY!! I have enjoyed this show from the first episode! I am angry, sad & disappointed to read this news.
