‘Madam Secretary’ season 2, episode 11: When will Tea Leoni, cast return?

MadamTonight marked the end of the first half of “Madam Secretary” season 2, and it was a story that certainly felt at times like a murder mystery just like it was a political drama.

So when are you going to see this particular story continue? Be prepared to wait for at least another four weeks. The show will not be returning to CBS until we get around to Sunday, January 10, which is when the cliffhanger involving the sniper / explosion will be resolved and we will be moving on to the next part of the season. From there, you’ll get a chance to see a few more bits and pieces of story before we end up moving forward into the awards-season / NFL hiatus. As always with CBS’ Sunday-night lineup, we expect the show to be pretty much off the air during the month of January. The silver lining is that when it returns in March, it will get a chance to air a variety of episodes in a row leading into the finale, which will most likely be in May.

Does the future look bright for the series as a whole? Both yes and no. While the 18-49 demo ratings are not amazing, this is still the #1 show for CBS on Sunday night in terms of demo numbers and total viewers in primetime. With that in mind, it’s rather hard to imagine the series going anywhere before a third season airs.

We’ll have some other news related to tonight’s episode and during the hiatus, so stay tuned!
