VIDEO: Sneak Peek - Morgan Freeman Guests on CBS's MADAM SECRETARY

Morgan Freeman will guest star on the season premiere of CBS's MADAM SECRETARY titled “The Show Must Go On”. Watch a sneak peek below!

Directed by Academy Award winner and MADAM SECRETARY Executive Producer Morgan Freeman, Elizabeth must take the oath of office when the President’s plane disappears over the Pacific Ocean. Also, Henry is asked by his new Defense Intelligence Agency handler, Jane Fellows, to recruit one of his Russian students to work for the U.S. government, on Sunday, Oct. 4 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT). Morgan Freeman also guest stars as Chief Justice Frawley. Jill Hennessy joins the cast in a recurring role as Henry’s new DIA handler, Jane Fellows.

MADAM SECRETARY stars 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.
