Everything to know about ‘The Diplomat’ season four
Three seasons of political manoeuvring have clearly not been enough for The Diplomat, because Netflix is sending Kate Wyler back into the fray this October.
Yes, people, season four now has a release date, and if you have been waiting to find out when Keri Russell will be back, mark October 15th on the calendar. The last season left enough hanging to keep fans talking, but the streamer is not making us wait until release day to learn what comes next. We now know where season four will pick up and which parts of Kate’s life will be seeking her attention.
And with The Diplomat, work never stays at work, does it? That line disappeared somewhere around season one, and nobody has shown much interest in finding it since.
Now, with your October sorted, let’s get into what season four has in store.
What is the plot?
Season four is going to pick up with Kate starting to suspect that Hal and President Grace Penn have gone behind her back, which is not where you want to be when one of those people is your husband and the other is running the country.
There is also the small matter of international peace. The relationship Kate helped build between the US and UK comes under threat, while a plan involving one of Russia’s weapons risks pulling the United States towards a war situation. In short, Kate has a few world-upending things on her plate as usual.
Who is in the cast?
Keri Russell is back as Kate Wyler, with Rufus Sewell returning as Hal. Allison Janney returns as President Grace Penn, while Bradley Whitford is back as Todd Penn, and since both have been promoted to series regulars, they won’t just be dropping in for the odd scene this time.
Is there a trailer?
Yes, there is, as Netflix has released a season four teaser, offering us a first look at where things stand when the show returns.
When does The Diplomat season four release on Netflix?
The Diplomat season four premieres on Netflix on October 15th, and the good news is that it gives you enough time to revisit season three, which may not be the worst idea, considering how much the finale left unresolved, waiting to go kaboom.
