‘Madam Secretary’ Season 2: Tea Leoni Led Show to Return With 24 Episodes,
In an interview with Las Vegas Review-Journal, "Madam Secretary" series star Erich Bergen gave us a little preview of what to expect of the show for next season, particularly with how many episodes have been ordered.
Bergen, who got his start in the Clint Eastwood film "Jersey Boys" as an actor who plays a singer, did a phone interview with the LVRJ, and he revealed a few details about his upcoming roles in Las Vegas. But he also disclosed that he had just received word that Season 2 of "Madam Secretary" has received an add-on order of two episodes, which sets the season at 24 total.
Standard seasons in broadcast network shows usually consist of 22 episodes spread out through the fall and winter, which lead up to the spring conclusions. Several series have made 24- or 25-episode seasons, which are usually the ones that perform well in the ratings and get good reviews ahead of time.
Bergen's interview was, however, more directly about his role in the Eastwood film than about his role on the show. He was scheduled to perform at Cabaret Jazz at The Smith Center for the Performing Arts previous to his interview.
But he gave a lot of details about his recent invitation to a state dinner at the White House, which was in honor of Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
Abe was a big fan of "Jersey Boys," so the White House invited the cast of four to the dinner for a performance featuring the same tuxedos they wore in the film, in honor of the foreign leader that night.
Bergen said that after his and his castmates performance at the dinner, President Obama took the mic for an introduction.
"He (Obama) said, 'I love you guys but you've got bigger fans here than me' and he was sort of pushed aside because (Vice President) Joe Biden and (Secretary of State) John Kerry sort of bumrushed the stage like fan girls," Bergen told his sold-out crowd last Friday at the Catalina Jazz Club in West Hollywood.
Before the season finale for "Madam Secretary," star Tea Leoni talked a little bit about her perspective on the last episode with Entertainment Weekly.
"In the final episode, we flash back to how she got there; not just prior to her life in the CIA, but to her marriage and what these commitments mean to a relationship and how it impacts it, and how [Tim Daly's] Henry and Elizabeth have handled themselves," she said.
