Madam Secretary just wrapped its fifth season, but will there be a sixth? Recently, executive producers Barbara Hall and Lori McCreary spoke with Deadline about the future of the CBS TV show.
The political drama stars Téa Leoni as U.S. Secretary of State Elizabeth McCord, a former CIA analyst who battles office politics while driving diplomacy and negotiating global deals. The cast also includes Tim Daly, Sara Ramirez, Željko Ivanek, Keith Carradine, Sebastian Arcelus, Patina Miller, Geoffrey Arend, Erich Bergen, Kathrine Herzer, Wallis Currie-Wood, and Evan Roe.
In the interview, Hall said she hopes season five isn’t the end for Madam Secretary. CBS has not yet announced a season six renewal:
Well you know I think that it would be bittersweet but I think everybody wants to see this happen. I know her fans want to see this happen and, of course, we want to go on this journey so hopefully, we’ll get the opportunity to do that.”
And what would happen in season six if the series is renewed? Hall says:
I would really like to have a parallel primary race for a while alongside the one that’s happening in the real world and because when we had our election year running alongside the election year and I find that it’s interesting to be able to draft on the political vocabulary that people have because of what’s happening and so that would be a fun challenge to have our … at least part of the primary running along the actual primary and then probably celebrate times so we can get to an election but that’s part of what I think season six would be about and I think it would be fun.”
What do you think? Do you watch Madam Secretary? Do you want a sixth season?
Cancel it too political and anti Trump too much I never favor of liberals. Was never like that again fake news
CBS ruined a great show
I hope that they cancel it. The live ratings have been a disgrace for years.
Absolutely love this show! Please continue with this story and cast.
Yes, it is a great show with a real story line. It deals with things going on in our world without commitment to a political party.
I hope they renew Madam Secretary!
I actually think it would be fun if they did a time jump & showed Elizabeth elected president & the acting SoS became the new Madam Secretary & the show followed both women. (And of course kept following the McCord family and her staff!)
This show is my all time favorite!! The cast is amazing especially Tea and Tim !!! There is no doubt that we are anxiously awaiting a renewal
I absolutely love Madam Secretary. It is a show that makes you aware of the world as well as our own at home problems. I also love the tie to Robert F. Kennedy in the last episode this season. It would be great if we could have her campaign this next season and win on the last show of that season and then go into the Presidency as the first woman president and a common sense person as well.
Madam Secretary is absolutely brilliant. It addresses real political issues that affect real people and takes out the partisan politics out of the subject while focusing on the specific concern. Bravo to the writers and I think the whole team do great – particular Tea and Tim …. love those two. Keep going please.
Yes please give us another Season. This is the smartest most compassionate show on tv today. MORE!!
I love the show but recognize that it can end one of two ways after season six… If Elizabeth wins, it will morph into “Madam President”, which has the opportunity to be a modern-day “The West Wing” re-make. If she loses, the series can end with her going quietly back to the horse farm and returning to UVA.
Ιt ‘s absolutely crazy to have it cancelled.We need to see her president election.Please respect our demand
I definitely not “want,” DEMAND at least…another season of, “Madam Secretary.” It is well written, acted, and very necessary, especially in the time of Trump!
We need a 6th season as an alternate narrative to what’s happening in the real 2020 Presidential campaign!
I do like the show and would like a season 6.
YESSSSSSSSSSS SAVE
