Keri Russell returns as Kate Wyler in The Diplomat season two
The Diplomat fans can finally find out what happened after that epic cliff-hanger ending as the hit political drama returns for a new season. Streaming later this month, the latest instalment of the Emmy-nominated drama sees Keri Russell reprise her role as US Ambassador Kate Wyler.
The official season two synopsis reads: "A deadly explosion in the heart of London shatters Kate Wyler's world. Struggling to rebuild the lives that broke and the team that split apart, Kate's worst fears unfold: The attack that brought her to the UK didn't come from a rival nation, it came from inside the British government. As Kate chases the truth, her only real ally is her almost ex-husband Hal Wyler, very much alive, and very much involved. She faces a fraught marriage, a complex dynamic with British Foreign Secretary Austin Dennison and a threatening visit from Vice President Grace Penn."
The new six-part season sees the return of Russell as Kate, alongside Rufus Sewell as Hal. Also starring are David Gyasi, Ali Ahn, Rory Kinnear, Ato Essandoh, and Michael McKean, with Oscar-winning I, Tonya star Allison Janney joining the cast as Vice President Penn.

The Diplomat was a huge hit when it premiered in April 2023 and debuted at number one in Netflix's global Top 10 TV shows. In its first weekend on the platform, the series racked up more than 57 million hours viewed and reached the Top 10 in 87 countries.
Speaking on the first season's explosive finale, series creator and showrunner Debora Cahn said: "I wanted it to make people want more. I wanted to bring together all of the different dynamics of the political relationships and the personal relationships in one event that splits apart all at the same time."
The Diplomat has already been renewed for a third season, with production underway in London and New York City. But until then, here's when The Diplomat season two is coming out and how to watch.
