Barbara Hall is staying put at CBS, the network behind “Madam Secretary.” The political drama’s creator and showrunner has signed a new overall deal with CBS Television Studios, Variety confirms. The three-year contract sees Hall continuing to serve as showrunner and exec producer of the Téa Leoni-starrer as well as developing new projects for the TV studio. In early 2016 she signed a two-year deal with the Eye.

Currently in its fourth season, “Madam Secretary” centers on Elizabeth McCord, a CIA analyst-turned-Secretary of State.

Hall co-created family drama “Judging Amy” and created cult favorite “Joan of Arcadia,” both of which ran on CBS. “Homeland,” “Chicago Hope,” and “Moonlighting” are among her other credits.

“When I first started, I was the female voice and you get a lot of jobs early on — ‘Well, I guess we should have a woman in the room on this,’” Hall has said. “And, of course, that changes. The industry has changed a lot and there are a lot of female writers. I find that the range gets more narrow as you go up and so that there are less female showrunners than there are female writers. So, it’s something that I really feel I got in on the ground floor as it was changing and now I’m a part of the rest of it changing,” she observed.

Also a novelist, Hall’s books include “Charisma,” “Tempo Change,” and “The Music Teacher.”
