While the season of Madam Secretary drew healthy viewership, the demo ratings for the CBS series were far from impressive. Will they improve in season two? Will the TV show be cancelled or renewed for a third season? Stay tuned.
On Madam Secretary, Elizabeth McCord (Tèa Leoni) is the shrewd and determined Secretary of State who drives international diplomacy. She battles office politics and circumvents protocol as she negotiates global and domestic issues, both at the White House and at home. The cast also includes Geoffrey Arend, Erich Bergen, Wallis Currie-Wood, Tim Daly, Kathrine Herzer, Željko Ivanek, Patina Miller, Bebe Neuwirth, 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 — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
3/25 update: CBS has renewed this series and 10 others for the 2016-17 season. Details here.
5/9 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.

For comparisons: The first season of Madam Secretary averaged a 1.44 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 11.82 million total viewers.
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you still like the Madam Secretary TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a third season?
The person who plays Madam Secretary who
wears the same cloths is what makes the show
as well the characters which l watch and many people watch the show watch.
I love this show, but I an wondering why Tea Leoni wears the same white blouse with scarf each week.
Madam Secretary is no of my shows
that I like if I have to record the show
so I can watch the show the following
day
Madam Secretary is one of the finest television series made. Just like many others that have been cancelled. Who would even think of cancelling yet another great show?
I hope they don’t cancel this show me & my husband love the show Tea Leoni is awesome.
Cancel this show! It’s propaganda favoring Hillary Clinton. The DNC rewards producers & primary actors with cash & other incentives in return for continued favorable scripts hoping the gulable viewing public will vote Hillary. It’s so obvious…sickening.
The Madam Secretary is a choke since
when do we have a female for a Secretary
beside that Madam Secretary has a wonderful
series
This show is such a joke. It’s obvious propaganda for Hillary Clinton, it’s obvious propaganda for feminism in general. Russia has NEVER had a female leader and now all of sudden in this show it does..what a joke
I love madam Secretary it has great
wite as well as great serials
the show I watch is one of mind
Favorite shows.
Please people watch this show Tea Leoni who plays Elizabeth McCord madam secretary is awesome she is a strong female in this series I know if you watch you will get hooked as me and my husband have its one show we actually both like at the same time thats huge. I do not want to see this show get canceled.
This tv show is propaganda garbage. You & hubby are brainwashed! The storyline plays into Hillary Clintons efforts to dance her way back to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NO MORE CLINTON CRIME FAMILY IN WHITE HOUSE!
That’s right Mada secretary and
Good wife should be on the air
They should move the day
that the football is on.
Putting the season openers of Madam Secretary, The Good Wife, and CSI: Cyber up against a football game is not sensible. The football season will be over in a few weeks, thank goodness, but those of us who enjoy these shows may have lost them to cancellation due to football-obsessed fans
Madam Secretary has a great cast as well
Madam Secretary has a great show
as well last night and love the show
they have a great episode
And if I have to tape the show
I could watch Madam Secretary.
Madame secretary is a great show will look forward to watching it every week last week or last nights episode was excellent I kept you on the edge of your seat all night they need to keep the show renewed don’t even think of canceling that it’s an excellent show everybody that I know that watches it loves it and I recommend it to everybody and then one day they recommend do they even love it.
We can’t wait until week we enjoyed the
show and can’t wait to see the next episode
They have a wonderful cast.
I enjoyed last episode of Mada secretary
what will happen next week.
If the numbers weren’t that impressive I think it was because it started so late. I watched Once Upon a time because of that. Then when that show was over I put on Madam Secretary and watched. I’ll watch what I missed on On Demand. The part I did see was very good.
