Netflix dropped the first two official photos from the upcoming second season of The Diplomat. Premiering on October 31, 2024, the new season’s tagline teases “the call is coming from inside the house.”
The first photos feature series star Keri Russell, returning as US Ambassador to the United Kingdom Kate Wyler. Rufus Sewell’s also back as her husband, Hal Wyler. The season two cast also includes David Gyasi, Ali Ahn, Rory Kinnear, and Ato Essandoh. Season two welcomes Allison Janney as Vice President Grace Penn.
“Season one ended with Kate’s (Keri Russell) realization that the attack on a British warship [that] brought her to the UK wasn’t the work of a hostile nation — it was the British prime minister,” said creator, showrunner, and executive producer Debora Cahn. “Now she has to prove it.”
Additional executive producers include Janice Williams, Keri Russell, Peter Noah, and Alex Graves.
“In the first season of The Diplomat, Kate Wyler (Russell) is a seasoned foreign service officer more at home in a crisis zone than an upper-crust atmosphere. She’s planning to take her next post in Afghanistan when the White House comes calling with a change of orders, sending her to London as the US ambassador to the United Kingdom. It’s not the behind-the-scenes world she thrives in, but with war brewing on one continent and boiling over on another, her skills will still be called upon,” reads Netflix’s synopsis.
“Kate will have to defuse international crises, forge strategic alliances in London and adjust to her new place in the spotlight — all while trying to survive her marriage to fellow career diplomat and charismatic political star Hal Wyler (Sewell). He’s negotiated the end of his share of wars, but sharing the spotlight with a wife who has long lurked in the shadows could be his most challenging mission yet. In this high-stakes political drama, the transcendence and torture of long-term relationships between countries and people takes center stage.”
