When Is Madam Secretary Leaving Netflix & Why?

by

As a dedicated gamer (and a fan of binge-watching shows), I’ve got some news that might affect your streaming schedule: After almost a decade, my go-to political drama, Madam Secretary, is departing from Netflix. The entire collection of six seasons will be taken down soon, and I’m curious as much as you are about the specific date and the reason behind this move.

Check out when and why Madam Secretary is exiting Netflix.

Why is Madam Secretary leaving Netflix and when?

Starting on May 15, 2025, Madam Secretary will no longer be available on Netflix. The platform is currently showing notifications about its removal on the show’s page. If you want to catch up before it goes away, make sure to watch all episodes by May 14th, as it will vanish at midnight on that day.

It seems that Madam Secretary is no longer available on Netflix because its streaming license has ended. Originally airing on CBS from 2014 to 2019, the series featuring Téa Leoni as Secretary of State Elizabeth McCord was only licensed for streaming in the U.S. by Netflix, meaning its stay on the platform had a set expiration date.

Initially, Madam Secretary debuted for streaming on Netflix back in 2015, with new seasons being added each year following their initial broadcast on CBS. The last season, Season 6, joined the platform on May 15, 2020, and exactly five years later, it will be taken off the service.

As a dedicated fan, I was bummed to learn that Madam Secretary won’t be airing anymore, but here’s some fantastic news to brighten up your day! The show will still be accessible on Prime Video. However, whether streaming services like Paramount+, owned by CBS’ parent company, will also carry it remains uncertain. Interestingly, there’s a possibility that this beloved series might pop up on free ad-supported platforms such as Pluto TV or Tubi, just like some of the older CBS titles. So, keep your fingers crossed and enjoy the show wherever you can!

Over the course of six seasons, Madam Secretary chronicled the transformation of Elizabeth McCord, from her role as a university professor, into the esteemed position of Secretary of State. Later in the series, she ascended to the presidency of the United States.

As a dedicated gamer, I’ve binge-watched the first five seasons of this captivating series, where we delved deep into the intricate and sometimes ethically challenging role of a Secretary of State. In the thrilling climax of Season 5, she declared her run for President, and in Season 6, history was made as she became our nation’s first female Commander-in-Chief. The remaining season offers a glimpse into her presidency from the Oval Office. So, fellow fans, don’t miss out on this political rollercoaster before Madam Secretary signs off from Netflix!
