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?
Please don’t cancel Madame Secretary. Best show on tv imho!
Mary, haven’t you heard? Madam Secretary is back and it’s better than ever, if that’s possible. Started OCt 4th with new season. You may have missed it because the football game ran late, 60 minutes ran late and I guess you can expect it to be that way as long as there is a football season. Last nights show was fabulous.
I started watching madam secretary on Netflix and I could not stop, I watched 9 eps in a row on a Sunday I had to force myself to go shower, I live this show so much please keep it going and the actors and actresses are just amazing and a think Tea is ssssssooooooooooooo great perfect for the role, Ty cbs for giving us something descent to watch.
M Sec. Love it! Looking forward to Season 2. Like Aquilas would say: “Please don’t let me down”. 🙂
I think this show is terrific. I am absolutely looking forward to more episodes and the acting is wonderful by all. What a strong cast.
Truly captivating. Thank you CBS!

About time CBS did something right. I rarely watch broadcast TV stations, but will make an exception for Madam Secretary. And Dean – sexier is politically correct!
Yes keep the show on. Love it
