Madam Secretary is officially over.

After six seasons, the beloved CBS drama that chronicled the political and personal life of President Elizabeth McCord (Téa Leoni) aired its final episode. When the network first announced that the long-running series was cut from its 2020 lineup, devoted fans anticipated a sorrowful goodbye—but no one was prepared for just how emotional the show's ending would really be.

The final scene showed President McCord and first husband Henry (Tim Daly) kissing on the back of a train, with the residents of a small town along their whistlestop tour cheering as the caboose pulled away.
