Yes, viewers can count on seeing more of some of the most intense shows in the CBS roster. The classic crime procedurals in the NCIS franchise and Criminal Minds scored renewals a while ago (although not all the news was good on the Criminal Minds front), so there was no danger that there would be no more good guys vs. bad guys if the likes of SEAL Team, S.W.A.T., and Hawaii Five-0 were cancelled, but it's now clear that CBS has enough room in its lineup for plenty of crime-fighting.<doc-sep>CBS has renewed Madam Secretary for a sixth season. That would be great news for fans of the show, who had been vocal in their support as the political drama found itself heavily on the bubble for the first time. Madam Secretary recently topped USA Today’ annual Save Our Shows poll. The network today also renewed SEAL Team, S.W.A.T., Bull, Hawaii-Five-O and MacGyver, and magazine shows 60 Minutes and 48 Hours, bringing the total number of series renewed for next year to 18. Created by Barbara Hall, Madam Secretary stars Téa Leoni as Elizabeth McCord, the shrewd, determined secretary of state who drives international diplomacy and circumvents protocol as she negotiates global and domestic issues, both at the White House and at home. Tim Daly, Sara Ramirez, Željko Ivanek, Keith Carradine, Sebastian Arcelus, Patina Miller, Geoffrey Arend, Erich Bergen, Kathrine Herzer, Wallis Currie-Wood and Evan Roe also star. Madam Secretary is produced by CBS Television Studios, in association with Revelations Entertainment. Barbara Hall, Lori McCreary, David Grae, Eric Stoltz and Academy Award winner Morgan Freeman executive produce.

In “Bull,” Michael Weatherly stars as Dr. Jason Bull in the drama inspired by the early career of Phil McGraw (commonly known as Dr. Phil), who founded a prolific trial-consulting firm. Dr. Bull is the ultimate puppet master as he combines psychology, human intuition, and high-tech data to learn what makes every player in the courtroom tick. Bull’s team of experts at Trial Analysis Corporation includes characters played by Freddy Rodriguez, Geneva Carr, Jaime Lee Kirchner, Christopher Jackson, and MacKenzie Meehan. “Bull” most recently made headlines when Eliza Dushku alleged harassment on the set of that show, which led to the network settling with her to the tune of almost $10 million. The show averages 6.7 million total live viewers and pulls a 0.75 in the 18-49 demographic. Adding in delayed viewing and additional platforms, and the show reaches 11.4 million viewers. “Bull” was created by Paul Attanasio and McGraw, who also act as executive producers on the show, along with Glenn Gordon Caron and Jay McGraw. The series is produced by CBS Television Studios in association with Stage 29 Productions. Amblin Television, which produced the first three seasons, is no longer associated with the series. The contemporary version of “Hawaii Five-0” reimagines the classic series about an elite force protecting the Hawaiian islands, and stars Alex O’Loughlin as Detective Steve McGarrett, a decorated Naval officer turned cop. McGarrett returns to Oahu to hunt down the biggest “game” in town, and his new team includes Detective Danny “Danno” Williams (Scott Caan), Captain Lou Grover (Chi McBride), Jerry Ortega (Jorge Garcia), Tani Rey (Meaghan Rath), and others. “Hawaii Five-0” averages 7.3 million total live viewers and pulls a 0.79 in the 18-49 demographic.

McCord’s team includes her chief of staff Jay Whitman (Sebastian Arcelus), policy advisor Kat Sandoval (Sara Ramirez), speechwriter Matt Mahoney (Geoffrey Arend), press coordinator Daisy Grant (Patina Miller), and assistant Blake Moran (Erich Bergen).

In addition to Till, the series stars Tristin Mays, Justin Hires and Meredith Eaton. George Eads starred for the first three seasons, as well.
