The three have already filmed their episode,
which involves fictional Secretary of State Elizabeth McCord,
played by Tea Leoni, turning to her more experienced peers for
advice when the series returns for a fifth season on Oct. 7.
“It was a privilege to experience their perspectives and
discourse both in and behind the scenes,” Barbara Hall, creator
and executive producer of "Madam Secretary," said in a
statement.
"Madam Secretary" portrays McCord's efforts to balance delicate
diplomatic issues as well as personal stories and her family
life.
The show launched in 2014, a year after Clinton stepped down
from her post at the State Department after four years. In 2015,
the Democrat declared she would run for president in 2016 but
was defeated by Republican Donald Trump.
Clinton has appeared briefly on entertainment shows as herself,
including a cameo on comedy "Broad City" in 2016 and with
"Saturday Night Live" doppelganger Kate McKinnon in 2015.
Madeleine Albright, the first female secretary of state, served
under Democratic President Bill Clinton. Colin Powell, secretary
of state under Republican President George W. Bush, was the
first black man to hold the post.
