CBS Entertainment today announced renewals of the following returning series for the 2016-2017 season:
BLUE BLOODS
ELEMENTARY
HAWAII FIVE-0
MADAM SECRETARY
MOM
NCIS: LOS ANGELES
NCIS: NEW ORLEANS
SCORPION
2 BROKE GIRLS
SURVIVOR
THE AMAZING RACE
Renewals for
THE BIG BANG THEORY and
NCIS were previously announced.
CBS will finish this season as America's most-watched network for the 13th time in 14 years. Season-to-date, the Network is also #1 in adults 18-49 and 25-54.
Among the renewals was MADAM SECRETARY, starring Téa Leoni as Elizabeth McCord, the shrewd, determined 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 returned to public life at the request of President Conrad Dalton following the suspicious death of her predecessor. The President values McCord 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.
