The Diplomat, a smooth-yet-addictive Netflix political thriller, not only gives Keri Russell another well-deserved leading role, but it also has one of the finest cliffhanger endings in recent memory. As a result, a 2nd season looked imminent from the minute the season 1 finale aired. That promise is now official, which is especially significant given showrunner Debora Cahn’s ongoing relationship with Netflix. So here’s everything you need to know about The Diplomat’ season 2.

The Diplomat Season 2 Potential Release Date

The Diplomat received a quick season 2 order from Netflix. The second season of The Diplomat may be ready to stream sooner than you expect. The Diplomat first appeared in January 2022, according to Marie Claire. Netflix launched the series 15 months later, so Season Two might be available by next summer if filming goes smoothly.

The Diplomat Season 2 Expected Cast

Here is a complete list of the main characters we’re hoping to see in The Diplomat season 2.

• Keri Russell as Kate Wyler

The Diplomat Season 2 Expected Plot

The 1st season concluded on a cliffhanger, leaving the fates of Hal Wyler (Rufus Sewell), Stuart Heyford (Ato Essandoh) and Ronnie (Jess Chanliau) unknown. After US Ambassadors Kate Wyler (Keri Russell) and Austin Dennison (David Gyasi) infer that Prime Minister Nicol Trowbridge (Rory Kinnear) was the real source of the attack on the HMS Courageous and that he hired the Russian Lenkov Group to kill his own countrymen, a bomb explodes in Tory MP Merritt Grove’s car. Hal, Stuart, Ronnie, and Merritt are all within range of the explosion and when Kate and Austin learn of it, the camera goes to dark before we can find out what occurs next. So we are expecting the story to continue from that point.
