Madam Secretary: Morgan Freeman is back to direct season 4 premiere

Morgan Freeman

He’s back! Executive Producer Lori McCreary tweeted a photo stating that Morgan Freeman is back to direct the season 4 premiere episode of Madam Secretary.

While Madam Secretary is back to work filming, little is still known about what will occur this season. However, if Morgan Freeman is directing the premiere then fans should be in for some exciting storytelling. If fans will recall, Freeman has directed the premiere episodes for Season 2 and 3 and both of them brought the intensity and edge-of-our-seat drama.

During the Season 2 premiere, Elizabeth was temporarily sworn in as the President when President Dalton’s plane disappeared over the Pacific Ocean. And during the Season 3 premiere, Elizabeth and Henry’s children are targeted by hackers. So with that type of history, anything is possible for Season 4.

So what will Season 4 bring? Well based on the photo tweeted, it appears as though Freeman is on location at a government building. Obviously, this isn’t a total surprise, but it could hint at something big for the opening episode. As previously mentioned, season 3 set up season 4 for some great storytelling by hinting at a potential romance, another marital challenge for Elizabeth and Henry, and of course, some global issues. And we have no doubt that the show will pull from real-life events to inspire the episodes and the direction of the show, so it will be intriguing to see what global or domestic event could be portrayed in Season 4.

So if Morgan Freeman is directing an episode, does that mean he could possibly have another cameo? If fans will remember Freeman had a guest role in the past two premieres as the judge who swore Elizabeth. It would be great to see Morgan Freeman again in some compactly. Whether we quickly see his character as Elizabeth is in the Capital or whether he becomes involved in some issue that Elizabeth has to deal with. Again, this would be a great little surprise for die-hard fans of the show.

Overall, with Morgan Freeman returning to the director’s chair the Season 4 episode should be on everyone’s radar because it is sure to be a great episode full of amazing performances.
