ABC has done very well with their political drama, Scandal. Will Madam Secretary be a similar ratings hit for CBS? Will it be renewed for a second season or will it be cancelled? Stay tuned.
On Madam Secretary, former CIA analyst Elizabeth McCord (Tèa Leoni) returns to public life after being recruited by the President (Keith Carradine) to become the new Secretary of State. The rest of the cast includes Željko Ivanek, Bebe Neuwirth, Geoffrey Arend, Patina Miller, Erich Bergen, Tim Daly, Katherine Herzer, and Evan Roe.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
1/12 update: Madam Secretary and two other shows have been renewed for a second season by CBS.
Final season averages: 1.44 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 11.82 million total viewers.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
Due to a Nielsen glitch, some of the early ratings of the 2014-15 season were revised a couple weeks later.
Note: These are the final national numbers (unless noted with an “*”). These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you like the Madam Secretary TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for season two?

I love Madam Secretary, but who dresses her and does her hair? Everyone dresses beautifully but the Madam Secretary. Her hair needs to be cut. She looks like Hilary when she was the Secretary of State. Next we’ll see her hair in a pony tail.
Absolutely should continue. And if you’re interested I can suggest why.
I am a loyal fan of Madam Secretary. And yes I think it should be back on.
Madam Secretary is an awesome show. I hope it’s going to be long lasting.
Goof show , one of show I must see, have seen all of shows so far, hope they continue with it, will be very disappointed if not continued.
Enjoy MADAME SECRETARY and one of few TV programs I never miss!
Keep up the great scripits!
We have been very pleased with the programming. Last night was a very nice touch.
I drop everything I do when this show comes on.
I also told my friends to start watching it.
The fervor of what unravels inside the White House keeps me glued to the tube for this one.
I’ve never bothered to comment on anything else before-if that’s any indication of how I enjoy this series.
That’s enough I done …next please
THIS IS A VERY GOOD PROGRAM. I USED TO LIKE WEST WING UNTIL THEY CHANGE THE THEME AND THE PRESIDENT DISAPPEARED AND IT OF COURSE WAS CANCELED. I ENCOURAGE NOT TO CHANGE THE THE POLITICAL THEME AND CONTINUE A WINNER SHOW WITH SUPER PERFORMERS. IT ISN’T BROKEN SO DON’T TRY TO FIX IT..
I have enjoyed the show very much and would be disappointed if it’s canceled
Liked the show
We enjoy the show immensely but I hear little discussion about it. I like how it addresses current issues with its own spin. We need to keep the few good shows!
i love the show and look forward to its take on current events.
I agree with JD that there isn’t much to want to see if Madam Secretary is cancelled on Sunday nights….and most other nights. I really value PBS Newshour M-F but there aren’t many other shows that matter. Well, to try to keep my brain functioning I often tune into Jeopardy after the Newshour to see if I can answer some of the questions. Most nights I can answer a few. (At 76 sometimes I can’t say my dearest friends’ names!!)
