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?
Yes! Please a 6th season! We want to see her as President! I just love her, its like all surreal and one of the best TV shows of all time! She n Henry are the Best couple!!
Yeas pleas give me a season 6
We want more Madam Sectetary
Madame Secretary is one of the few “must see” TV shows for me. It is so smart, timely and gives me hope that difficult issues can be resolved. Also, the characters are just fund to watch. I really hope the show will be renewed!!!
Yes, I want to see Season 6. This is one of my favorite shows on TV. It’s messages help me deal with what’s happening in today’s crazy world. The writing and cast are outstanding.
I ave really enjoyed madam Secretary and I would be very sad to see it stop. I learned so much and I love all the characters. I sure hope to see season six !
This show is so good, great cast and writing. Let’s keep this one for another season.. Here is to season 6!!
Yes! I want a 6th season. This is one of the best shows on TV. I’ve loved everything Barbara Hall has done! Keep this drama rolling, please!
Please renew Madam Secretary. I enjoy watching it.
madam secretary is the best of the best, the episodes tackle such timely issues. Many are addressed in a way that I wish our country handled them these days. The characters and the actors are wonderful and human and the touches, i.e. The husband who puts a new roll of toilet paper on and then tries to figure out what to do with the empty roll was so homelike! Keep it, keep it!
Please renew Madame Secretary for season 6. It is by far the best written and acted show in any medium. The writers have an uncanny knack for crafting plots and dialog months before similar events happen in real life. The actors come across as “real” people who have personal foibles but who usually end up doing the “right” thing even in the face of enormous pressure or opposition.
Love this show. We would not miss it. RENEW THIS SHOW.
Yes please renew Madame Secretary. It is smart, relevant and great character dynamics
Please, please keep Madam Secretary. It really is the only show outside PBS that we watch faithfully. Love the cast and the storyline
Love Madam Secretary, it has a great cast, and tells wonderful stories that everyone can relate too. It’s one of the few series that really is written for adults. I truely hope it is renewed for a sixth season.
One of the best shows on TV! Scripts, actors and story lines are real. If only Elizabeth McCord were not a fictional character! This is a must renew.
