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?
Love, Love, Love this show and the story lines. Incredible writing and acting. I am delighted that Madam Secretary has been renewed for another season. Bravo to Tea, the cast and CBS for portraying several beautiful, intelligent, strong and determined women who lives life to the fullest …. We might not all be in politics, but so many of us have a passion for our work and families as well. Keep the episodes coming.
Love Madam Secretary hope it isn’t canceled ..
PLEASE renew “Madam Secretary” !! This show is fantastic. The characters are great & I feel like it is an education on what actually happens behind the scenes in our political world.
Once again, please don’t disappoint the fans of this show!!
Thanks,
Sarah Bradford
I look forward to seeing the TV show on Sunday at 8:00PM…Lately it is not on.WHY?????????
They have some stupid other program that can not compare with this show. I do not want to watch it on my computer……………Thank you….
Madam Secretary is one of the few shows that are really good! I ready hope that this show is remnewed another year. There are not many shows available on the regular networks that are good, but Madam Secretary is not one of them
Please do not cancel Madam Secretary!!!
I love this show. It reminds me of West Wing in its presentation. Keep up the good work!
Definitely renew! Great show, meticulously performed every week since debut.
Yes DEFINITELY
..bring back this show. ..good ones are hard to find within all the trashy reality garbage.
Amen to all that “trashy reality garbage”. That’s why I seldom watch network TV anymore. Hope “Madam Secretary” makes it to cable. (100 episodes I believe) I bought the season one set. Let’s go for two! LD
I loved Madam Secretary. I sure hope it has not been cancelled, one of the better ones out there. Thank you
Please renew this series. My friends and family love this series. Tea is awesome as well as the whole cast. It seems so real, o just how Washington works but the homelife of this family.
Incredible creators and writers!!
Please renew Madam Secretary! It’s the only show worth watching. Give it a better time slot and it will do much better in the polls!
My husband & I both think this show is outstanding. It is well and intelligently written. The cast works well together and the show is very realistic. The plots are believable. We are both retired professionals; I am a retired lawyer with a master’s degree in Journalism. My husband is a retired electrical engineer and computer consultant we implore the powers that be to renew this show!
Love this show! Intelligent, edgy, believable plot lines and most characters…ergo, they will probably cancel it. Every time a show for thinking or modestly educated people is created I watch with trepidation since almost every show I like gets cancelled. Not everyone who watches is in the 22-49 demographic or can stomach game and reality shows. Thus the need for Netflix, Hulu et al.
I do not think I am a political person but I enjoy this show and getting a sense of how Washington operates via the tv version. Tea was made for this role, keep it on the roster.
Please keep Madam Secretary on. I think it’s a great show so does my family. We look forward to watching it every week. Don’t cancel it!!
