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.

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?
Madam Secretary: “It should definitely be renewed”…as in my age demographic, it appears to be about as current with world political issues and turmoil as a weekly series could be. Mixing in the complications of the real world alongside the pressing Washington political landscape is a nice touch to “keeping it real”. We also might want to take a look at a little more of the unconventional approach “Madam” brings to light in this series…”in real life” polotics. I find it to be interesting and apart from what the majority of us “might find as the usual” storylines regarding weekly… Read more »
I think it madam Secretary should be renew for season 2
PLEASEEEE RENEW OUR FAVORITE SHOW PERIOD
RENEW!!! My wife and I love the show. Madam Secretary is the only show I watch every week. Tea Leoni and the rest of the cast is great!!
Love it & look forward to show each week. Show should be renewed!
Also, I’m in agreement to time slot change Sunday’s work but show runs not on time when sporting events run late.
PLEASE RENEW THIS SHOW!!!! Madam Secretary is totally wonderful. What happened to the finale??? Did we miss it? Great characters, great acting. Looking forward to next episode…..
Classiest, best written show I’ve seen in recent memory. Please bring it back!
Please RENEW this show! Madame Secretary is well written, well directed, well acted. Some of us like intelligent shows, and have money to buy what the advertisers want to sell. We need more shows like this. Fewer shows like the ridiculous reality shows, moronic sit come.
STALKER IS THE BEST. MY HUSBAND AND I DVR IT EVERY WEEK SO WE WILL NOT MISS IT. PLEASE KEEP IT RUNNING NEXT SEASON. BEST NEW SHOW!!!
RENEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best show ever, compelling, makes you think, true to life and my friends and I cannot stop watching it. We are HOOKED on it. Please do not cancel another good television show. Seems like boring nonsense on these days. PLEASE RENEW
MADAM SECRETARY!!!!!!!!
PLEASE bring it back!
What a GREAT show…………..
It would be devastating to see Madam Secretary, no more. The missus and I enjoy the show, we look forward to each week’s appearance. The time-slot that is in should be considered. Presently in my neck of the woods, it airs on Sunday at 8:00 p.m. This is after Sunday sports that usually runs late. Causing the episode to have to be placed on the DVR and hopefully it picks it all up.
Please renew ! Love the show
Love the show, l think it should renewed.
I love this show! Rarely do I get hooked on watching a show, but this is one I absolutely look forward to every week. What happened to Dec 7 airing? I thought my dvr messed up again but not showing up on demand yet.
Hello Andrea! Bill here. How are you today? Don’t be upset. There was no new episode of Madam Secretary, as there is no new episode this week either. The next new episode may not be until the New Year. You are right though. I didn’t hear anything about the fall finale. It will return, I am sure. I, myself am looking forward to the next episode…. Bill
Madam Secretary is a good show: I Love the show and look forward to it every week. Creative plots, clever dialogue, interesting characters. Tea Leoni is fantastic and she has a great chemistry on screen with Tim Daly. The cast is intriguing and quirky which makes the show very sustainable! Hope it lasts a while!
