Plot Synopsis

Created and executive produced by Debora Cahn, THE DIPLOMAT is a one-hour political drama series that centers on Kate Wyler, the new US Ambassador to the United Kingdom. She was supposed to go to Afghanistan. She's great in a crisis zone. In a historic home... less so. War is brewing on one continent and boiling over on another. Kate will have to diffuse 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 political star Hal Wyler. All eight episodes of THE DIPLOMAT's first season dropped on Thursday, April 20, 2023.

The entire six-episode second season of THE DIPLOMAT debuted on Thursday, October 31, 2024 on Netflix. In Season 2, a deadly explosion in the heart of London shatters US Ambassador 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 DIPLOMAT has been renewed for a third season.
