Series Information:
MADAM SECRETARY follows shrewd, determined Secretary of State Elizabeth McCord, who drives international diplomacy and circumvents protocol as she negotiates global and domestic issues, both at the White House and at home. BULL is the head of one of the most prolific trial-consulting firms of all time. Brilliant, brash and charming, Dr. Bull is the ultimate puppet master as he combines psychology, human intuition and high-tech data to learn what makes jurors, attorneys, witnesses and the accused tick. Madam Secretary stars Téa Leoni as Elizabeth McCord, the shrewd, determined, newly appointed Secretary of State who drives international diplomacy, battles office politics and circumvents protocol as she negotiates global and domestic issues, both at the White House and at home. A college professor and a brilliant former CIA analyst who left for ethical reasons, Elizabeth returns to public life at the request of the President following the suspicious death of her predecessor. The President values her apolitical leanings, her deep knowledge of the Middle East, her flair for languages and her ability to not just think outside the box, but to not even acknowledge there is a box. McCord’s team includes her Chief of Staff Nadine Tolliver, speechwriter Matt Mahoney, press coordinator Daisy Grant and her charming assistant, Blake Moran. As McCord debates third world problems, finesses foreign dignitaries at work and does battle with the President’s combative Chief of Staff Russell Jackson, that’s just a warm-up for when she goes home to her supportive husband, Henry, and their three children, where “politics” and “compromise” take on new meaning.
In the series finale, members of the World Cup Champion U.S. Women's Soccer team, Crystal Dunn, Allie Long, Ashlyn Harris and Ali Krieger, visit the White House to help Elizabeth (Téa Leoni) kick off a new landmark political initiative.

Best show on TV. Gives hope for the future. PLEASE RENEW!!!!
PLEASE RENEW !!!!!!! Or I’m never going to watch cbs again
Please renew. One of the better programs on TV.
Since I don’t know exactly much about government and somewhat how things operate…this program is giving me a badly needed look at the possibility of how things actually(or somewhat) do operate. Please renew..Great cast!.
They’re starting to make a left turn on me, and as long as it doesn’t get any worse than it is I’m still in for the Long Haul. I understand that this a politically-motivated show, but one-sided politics it should not be. I reservedly vote for it to be renewed.
This show gives us more information on what is actually ‘happening’ in the US Government and shows the US Government are more interesting than our Government here downunder! Please dont cancel! Please renew! For the sake of the Free World – Leave it on TV!!!
Very sorry to hear that this is the last season for Madam Secretary. It’s one of the best shows on TV. Please renew!
I am very disappointed to hear that this is the last season for Madam Secretary. It’s one of the best shows on TV.
Please renew!
MORE PLEASE!
Once again another good show is being cancelled for who knows what will replace it. I have watched this show since it started. There are so many things they could do with this show, but they choose to cancel it. Very disappointed…..
Please reconsider, this is the best show on CBS!
Love this show but since Elizabeth is running for President, AND, if she wins, the title, Madam Secretary, would no longer be appropriate. Maybe CBS would air a new show entitled Madam President!
What does Pre-cancel mean?
Please keep Madam Secretary. I am so tried of all the mediocre shows. On TV. Madam Secretary is truly a great show and is the only reason I watch ABC
