“Madam Secretary” to End With Season Six

Téa Leoni in "Madam Secretary"

Madame Secretary’s sixth season will be its last. 

The news was announced Wednesday by CBS Entertainment president Kelly Kahl. His statement also confirmed that the sixth and final season will be abbreviated and will consist of 10-episodes.

“They’re going to do 10 episodes in the fall and tie up the storyline. We’re happy and excited to do that for Téa, the cast, and the audience,” he said. “It’s hard when a show ‘poof goes away.’ We like to be able to do this and send the show off with a great deal of respect and celebration. Everyone appreciates when we are able to do that.”

The political drama stars Téa Leoni as well as Tim Daly, Sara Ramirez, Keith Carradine, Sebastian Arecelus, Patina Miller, Geoffrey Arend, Erich Bergen, Katherine Herzer, Wallis Currie-Wood, Evan Roae, and Željko Ivanek.
