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.

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?
Keep it on the air!, Terriffic show and sadly miss it not being on. Renew it. A show that finally is interesting and energetic.
Where is Madam Secretary??? I keep checking each week! When will it start up again? I love to see how the writers create the problems and diplomatically work it all out! Please bring it back! It is such a great balance to the trash and violence out there. And I am tired of prime time tv turning into soap operas. This show is definitely a keeper.
I loved this series, 100% better than state of affairs, which is hard to follow. Madam Secretary had a little bit for all viewers. Many of my friends also watched it.
RENEW Madam Secretary! We loved it!
Yes please renew Madame secretary! Where is it now? Missi it!
What is wrong with the TV executives. You finally get a good show with a superb cast and story lines and then you just leave everyone hanging, or was that your plan all along? Shame on you. Bring it back!!!
I love this show! Please bring it back!
Please renew. Loved and watched every week
One of the best shows in a log time, so sad to see It not being showed lately. Was a great show
This is the best show I have seen in a long time. It might get better ratings if it wasn’t interrupted all the time. How can people get into it if it’s not on a regular schedule? Bring it back and definitely renew for a second season! Great cast and story line.
Love that show it made my Sun . Night
