AXN just got more thrilling with Madam Secretary from 10th of January
Actress Tea Leoni (Jurassic Park fame) who will be playing the lead in the series feels that her character in the new show Madam Secretary is similar to what she is in real life.
Leoni will be seen playing the role of Elizabeth Faulkner McCord, a newly appointed Secretary of State in the series. Describing her on screen character, she said, “I liked her immediately, and appreciate her accomplishments. Both of us share a similar point of view.” Comparing herself to the character, Leoni said, “She is a little more practical and a slightly better diplomat.”
Saurabh Yagnik, Executive Vice-president and Business Head, Sony Pix & AXN India, said, AXN's new show line-up is all about bringing the best of American TV to Indian television. Dwayne Johnson’s new show ‘Wake Up Call’ could not have been launched at a better time; the show resonates with the way India feels right now building a new future.
We are delighted to premiere ‘Madam Secretary’, which is a welcoming addition to our already wide programming spectrum, a political drama produced by Morgan Freeman and Lori McCreary. The channel has been home to ‘Top Gear’ and ‘Top Chef’ for years. ‘Top Gear’ is the best show on automobile, meant for both who love cars and who don’t.
We work dedicatedly to bring wide variety of shows and genres, and these new shows are a step in the same direction, a New Year gift to our viewers. With world’s best reality shows and drama, AXN is definitely a must watch destination for all age groups."
