After a stellar first season, the highly-awaited second season of the Netflix series The Diplomat is heading to our screens. Season two of the Emmy-nominated show will launch on October 31st. The first season centred on Kate Wyler, the new United States ambassador to the United Kingdom, as she helps to defuse an international crisis, forges strategic alliances and adjusts to her new place in the spotlight. She also manages her deteriorating marriage to fellow career diplomat Hal Wyler. Returning for the new season are Keri Russell, Rufus Sewell, David Gyasi, Ali Ahn, Rory Kinnear and Ato Essandoh. Oscar-winning actress Allison Janney joins the series as Grace Penn, the Vice President of the United States. The official trailer for the second season has debuted.
SEASON 2
The call is coming from inside the house.
A deadly explosion in the heart of London shatters US Ambassador Kate Wyler’s world (Keri Russell). 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 (Rufus Sewell), very much alive, and very much involved. She faces a fraught marriage, a complex dynamic with British Foreign Secretary Austin Dennison (David Gyasi), and a threatening visit from Vice President Grace Penn (Allison Janney).
Stately homes. State secrets. High treason. High tea.
