The Diplomat Renewed for Season 3 On Netflix Ahead of Season 2 Release 🎬🌍
Exciting news for fans of The Diplomat! Netflix has quietly renewed the hit political thriller for a third season, more than a month before the release of its highly anticipated second season. Filming for Season 3 has already begun, with production taking place back-to-back with Season 2, meaning viewers won’t have to wait overly long for more high-stakes drama.
As the clock ticks down to the October 31, 2024 premiere of The Diplomat’s second season, fans can expect a slightly shorter but packed season, with the episode count reduced from eight to six. The upcoming season sees the return of the show’s standout stars Keri Russell as Ambassador Kate Wyler and Rufus Sewell as her husband, Hal Wyler, alongside a new addition to the cast—Allison Janney, who joins as Vice President Grace Penn.
Filming for The Diplomat Season 2 picked back up in December 2023 after production was paused due to the dual Hollywood strikes. The good news is that, despite the disruptions, Netflix moved swiftly to get Season 3 underway. According to our sources, filming for the third season has been quietly ongoing since June 2024 in the United Kingdom and is expected to wrap in September 2024. With such an early renewal, it’s likely that Season 3 will hit our screens sometime in mid-to-late 2025.
While Netflix is keeping a tight lid on the plot details for the third season, fans can expect more of the intricate political maneuvering and personal drama that made the first season such a success. Showrunner Debora Cahn is continuing her role, ensuring that the sharp storytelling and character-driven drama will carry over into Season 3. Additionally, it’s been hinted that Celia Imrie, who plays Margaret Roylin, will have an expanded role in the new season.
As the series prepares for its second season premiere, Netflix’s early green light for Season 3 shows just how confident the streaming giant is in The Diplomat’s continued success. Will there be a fourth season in the show’s future, or will Season 3 be the end?

About The Diplomat TV Series
In the first season of The Diplomat, Kate Wyler (Keri Russell) is a seasoned foreign service officer more at home in a crisis zone than an upper-crust atmosphere. She's planning to take her next post in Afghanistan when the White House comes calling with a change of orders, sending her to London as the US ambassador to the United Kingdom. It's not the behind-the-scenes world she thrives in, but with war brewing on one continent and boiling over on another, her skills will still be called upon. Kate will have to defuse 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 charismatic political star Hal Wyler (Rufus Sewell). He's negotiated the end of his share of wars, but sharing the spotlight with a wife who has long lurked in the shadows could be his most challenging mission yet. In this high-stakes political drama, the transcendence and torture of long-term relationships between countries and people takes center stage. Also starring David Gyasi, Ali Ahn, Rory Kinnear, and Ato Essandoh, with executive producers Debora Cahn, Janice Williams, and Keri Russell. Allison Janney also joins the cast in Season 2 as Vice President Grace Penn.
