About The West Wing

The West Wing follows President Bartlet and staff from Aaron Sorkin's pilot on NBC. Seasons 1 through 4 from 1999 to 2003 cover reelection and shooting arcs under Sorkin. Seasons 5 through 7 from 2003 to 2006 under John Wells move through the Santos campaign to the May 2006 Tomorrow finale. Two specials sit alongside season 3.

Martin Sheen, Allison Janney and Bradley Whitford lead 154 episodes. Storylines stretch across seasons with walk and talk momentum. The 2020 reunion special is an optional extra outside the run.

Good to know

Watch seasons 1 through 7 in order, since elections, shootings and successions compound directly across terms. Expect dense policy dialogue with idealist drama throughout. Sorkin hands to Wells midway without breaking stride. The May 2006 finale closed the administration, and no revival season has aired.
