CBS' New Political Drama Madam Secretary Calls Téa Leoni Back Into Action
On Madam Secretary, premiering Sunday at 8:30 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. PT on CBS, Leoni plays Elizabeth McCord, a former CIA analyst-turned-college professor and a mother of three who is suddenly thrust into the position of Secretary of State. There are also the international crises, the inner-office politics of the state department, as well as Elizabeth's duties to her children and her husband, Henry (played by Tim Daly). Much like Elizabeth's return to Washington D.C., Leoni's return to series television comes after a lengthy sabbatical. Madam Secretary came at the right time in more ways than one.
