"It was wonderful to spend some time with the team from @MadamSecretary on set in Brooklyn with a few former colleagues. Mark your calendars for October 7th!" Clinton tweeted.
"It was great to be back on the set of @MadamSecretary with @tealeoni. It is always nice to consult with my successors. The episode will air on #CBS on October 7," Albright said in her own post.
The show features Tea Leoni as the fictional U.S. Secretary of State Elizabeth McCord. Her co-stars include Tim Daly, Sara Ramirez, Željko Ivanek, Keith Carradine, Sebastian Arcelus, Patina Miller, Geoffrey Arend, Erich Bergen, Kathrine Herzer, Wallis Currie-Wood and Evan Roe.
"Having three powerhouses of diplomacy agree to come on our show is awe-inspiring and humbling. And that we were able to find a time in their busy schedules when they were all available is a miracle," said Lori McCreary, the show's executive producer. "We welcome Secretary Albright, Secretary Clinton and General Powell to the Madam Secretary family!"
