Information about MADAM SECRETARY:

A special "doubleheader" broadcast of the series premiere of MADAM SECRETARY will air Sunday, Sept. 21 (8:30-9:30 PM, ET/8:00-9:00 PM, PT, with an encore broadcast at 10:30-11:30 PM, ET/10:00-11:00 PM, PT). 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 (Bebe Neuwirth), speechwriter Matt Mahoney (Geoffrey Arend), press coordinator Daisy Grant (Patina Miller) and her charming assistant Blake Moran (Erich Bergen). When McCord debates third world problems, finesses foreign dignitaries at work and does battle with the President's combative Chief of Staff Russell Jackson (Željko Ivanek), it's just a warm-up for when she goes home to her supportive husband Henry (Tim Daly) and their bright children, where "politics" and "compromise" take on new meaning.
