‘The Diplomat’ Renewed For Season 3 At Netflix

Keri Russell’s exploits as the foreign ambassador to the UK are not over yet.

The Diplomat has been renewed for a third season at Netflix, marking an early renewal for the series ahead of Season 2’s premiere at the end of the month. Production is already underway in London and New York, according to the streamer.

All six episodes of Season 2 premiere on October 31. The upcoming season will see Kate dig deeper into the attack in London and the previous attack of a British aircraft carrier off the coast of Iran, which she now knows came from inside the British government rather than from a foreign adversary.

In her quest, she faces a fraught marriage, a complex dynamic with British Foreign Secretary Austin Dennison (David Gyasi), and a threatening visit from Alison Janney’s newly introduced Vice President Grace Penn.

Also, speaking of her marriage, a teaser for the upcoming installment, released in September, finally revealed to audiences that Hal Wyler (Rufus Sewell) is alive after an explosion in the heart of London at the end of Season 1 put his life in danger.

From creator, showrunner, and executive producer Debora Cahn, The Diplomat also stars Ali Ahn, Rory Kinnear, and Ato Essandoh. It is executive produced by Janice Williams, Alex Graves, and Keri Russell.
