‘Madam Secretary’ to End With Season 6
“Madam Secretary” will end with its upcoming sixth season next year.
The announcement was made by CBS Entertainment president Kelly Kahl during the network’s upfront press briefing on Wednesday. The final season will consist of 10 episodes to “tie up the storyline,” Kahl said.
“We’re happy and excited to do that for Tea and the writers of the show and the audience,” he said. “I think it’s more to respect the audience. You work hard to get people to invest in the show … We’d like to be able to do this and to send the show off with a great deal of respect and appreciation.”
