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?
We would watch Madam Secretary into the far horizon—-season 7 or 8 or forever. One of the best shows to hit TV screen since “West Wing”. Wish there were more like it.
Very disappointed to hear the next season will be the last. Such a well written and produced show. I love the way the show not only digs into the issues facing our country but also issues with families and relationships. Show makes me think about possibilities in government and beyond. Thanks for a great show and something to look forward to on TV.
I love this show above all others. I hope another network takes the series into 7th season and more. The show is so intelligent and drama filled not to mention the great family interactions. Don’t cancel!!!!!!!!
I love this show. It is well written and seems to be in alignment with current world affairs. Please do not end the show! I know several people who really like the show its just not on a good day for them to watch. Please, please continue the show for a 7tha and 8th seasons if not more.
One of the best shows on tv
this has been a great show to follow. who what a team! I really will hate seeing this end.
There hasn’t been one this good since The West Wing! There isn’t one character that I don’t love or hate but believe. I’ve loved every plot. Intelligent dialogue… what more could you want? Perhaps someone could threaten her life or some such so she doesn’t run? Are you afraid you can’t handle material for her winning the Presidency? Someone make the TV gods rethink this and keep this series going for another five or ten years.
This is the best TV show, intelligent and entertaining I can’t believe it’s ending….. what can we do to keep it going!!
I really enjoy Madam Secretary and will be sorry to see it go
I don’t recall such a thoughtful TeeVee show in ages. It allows us to escape into a world of politics where situations are presented in black and white–where truth is obvious but elusive. Where it takes a wise woman and her keen sense of ethics to set things right. It is time for CBS to do the same thing; Elect Elizabeth President!
This is one of my absolute favorite shows, I would watch as many seasons as possible. I’m hoping that Netflix will pick it up for more seasons. “Madam President”!!!!
Hope they bring on a series of Madam President and that’s the reason for cancelling Madam Secretary!
I wholly agree. They backed themselves into a problem with her running for Pres. So if there’s any chance that this good, exciting series can continue perhaps a name change can save it.
Hope that they bring on a series of Madam President! Hope that’s the reason for cancelling Madam Secretary!
Thoughtful, intelligent and relevant. A vanishing breed. Bring on Madam President!
This is one of the most intelligently written series that I have seen for quite awhile. It must end with her run for president, but would morph well into Madame President” series.
I vote for a spin-off!
100% agree!
Yes! I vote for Madame President !
Yes, bring on a new series…Madame President!
