The tension of the political landscape infused with Kate's personal life made The Diplomat a riveting political drama series that seems to check all the right boxes for the audience.
The trailer for the show is already out, and fans can expect a gripping season filled with tensions across borders. Here is everything you need to know about The Diplomat Season 2, who is returning to the political thriller series, and what to expect from the new season.
Is there a release date for The Diplomat Season 2?
The Diplomat Season 2 will return on October 31, 2024, on Netflix. All six episodes will likely be released simultaneously, consistent with Netflix's typical release strategy. Season 2 will consist of six episodes, a reduction from the eight episodes in Season 1.
Before the second season hits TV screens, it is befitting to talk about the thrilling Finale of The Diplomat season 1. In the final moments of the finale, Kate learns that it was none other than British Prime Minister Nicol Trowbridge (Rory Kinnear) who planned the explosion of the British aircraft in the first episode.
Now, with the US and the UK sharing their intelligence, how do you ''investigate the PM?''
The finale saw another explosion of its own, which might lead Kate's husband Hal (Rufus Sewell), deputy chief of mission Stuart Hayford (Ato Essandoh), office clerk Ronnie (Jess Chanliau), and MP Merritt Grove (Simon Chandler) dead.
Who is in the cast of The Diplomat Season 2?
Allison Janney will guest star as the Vice President of the United States. Keri Russell's Kate and David Gyasi's Austin will also return for a second season, as they were nowhere near the second attack of the finale.
Allison Janney joins the cast as Vice President Grace Penn, adding a new dynamic to the storyline. Keri Russell (Kate Wyler) and Rufus Sewell (Hal Wyler) will return, along with other main characters from Season 1 as follows:
- David Gyasi as Austin Dennison
- Ali Ahn as Eidra Park
- Rory Kinnear as Prime Minister Nicol Trowbridge
- Ato Essandoh as Stuart Hayford
What is the plot of The Diplomat Season 2?
Season 2 will see Kate dealing with the explosion's aftermath in the finale's final moments. Knowing the British PM, she would have to prove her suspicions, which would be a challenge for her.
There is also some friction expected between Wyler and Vice President Grace Penn as the VP thinks that Kate is after her job. Almost immediately following the dramatic cliffhanger at the end of Season 1, where Kate Wyler must contend with the aftermath of an assault.
This is inextricably linked to British Prime Minister Nicol Trowbridge, the story is going to begin following her battles to prove her concerns against him as well as political and personal obstacles.
Filming for Season 3 has already begun, indicating Netflix's confidence in the series' continued success. It is expected to be released in 2025.
