Netflix Reveals Premiere Date for Season 2 of 'The Diplomat'

Netflix has today announced the premiere date for the upcoming second season of its original drama series The Diplomat.







All 8 episodes of the second season will be available on Thursday, October 31.

In the first season, Kate Wyler 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 U.S. 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. 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.

The drama stars Keri Russell, Rufus Sewell, David Gyasi, Ali Ahn, Rory Kinnear and Ato Essandoh.

Moreover, Academy and Emmy Award-winning actress Allison Janney joins the cast in the new season as Vice President Grace Penn.

Debora Cahn created the drama. She executive produces with Russell, Janice Williams, Peter Noah and Alex Graves.
