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?
This is a great show, it gives us an idea of what goes on in the day to day life of a politician.
Don’t cancel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i dont usually watch political dramas but i like it and i hope it gets renewed
I never miss this show. It works really well, all the characters are good, they are believable to me, i like the main character, good role model, it’s just good entertainment, well done. i will be disappointed if it’s not renewed.
the more Hillary gets in trouble, the lower this show’s ratings go.
This is one of the best shows of this season. My wife and I would be very disappointed if it were to be cancelled
Great show, please renew
great show ! hope you are smart enough to renew for at least one more season. the more
that it’s shown the more your viewer numbers will increase due to word of mouth praise and social media exposure. great show !
I love that this is an intelligent strong female role model. Absolutely love the show! I make everyone be quiet while I’m watching and I am on the edge of my seat. Please do not cancel great TV!
PLEASE renew, fantastic show.
Its great believable entertainment, so much better than all the boring so-called reality shows on tv. It gets harder an harder to find anything worthwhile to watch anymore. Ive enjoyed every episode of Madam secretary. Please continue next season.
everyone let’s get real. this has suspense, drama and even a little romance.
She is the underdog every week going into battles that none of use could imagine.
this series needs to continue.
This is a much better program than any reality show or fixed fight. Gee bet we see the Mayweather Vs Pacquiao in another year. glad all of you fight fans paided that 180 million dollars an will probably do it again…suckers
I like the show. I even got some of the episodes online. I hope it is renewed.
This is our favorite show.please don’t cancel. With all the trash out there that keeps going, how could you cancel? This show has substance and very good acting. My husband and I have never missed an episode
I totally agree. Love the show, love the direction it has taken, great acting. I, too, hope it is renewed!
My husband and I love this show. Please renew it!
