The Diplomat Season 2 Premieres October 31

Netflix has announced that Season 2 of 'The Diplomat,' starring Keri Russell, will premiere on October 31, 2024. The new season will resume immediately after the intense cliffhanger of Season 1, which left characters Kate Wyler and Austin Dennison facing significant threats following a conspiracy revealed during a British aircraft carrier attack. Allison Janney will join the cast as Vice President Grace Penn, alongside returning actors Rufus Sewell, David Gyasi, Ali Ahn, Rory Kinnear, and Ato Essandoh. The series, created by Debora Cahn, quickly became a hit, debuting at the top of Netflix's global English TV list and being renewed for a second season within two weeks of its initial release. The political drama explores themes of diplomacy and the complexities of personal relationships against a backdrop of international crises. First-look images released suggest a somber tone for the upcoming season.
