Netflix has announced The Diplomat Season 2 release date for the upcoming return of the acclaimed political drama, which will once again be led by Keri Russell (Felicity, The Americans).

When is The Diplomat Season 2 release date?
The Diplomat Season 2 will be available for streaming on Thursday, October 31, 2024. Described as a high-stakes political drama, the series is created and executive produced by Debora Cahn, who is also serving as the showrunner.
Joining Russell are Rufus Sewell, David Gyasi, Ali Ahn, Rory Kinnear, Ato Essandoh, Celia Imrie, Michael McKean, Nana Mensah, T’Nia Miller, and Miguel Sandoval. Season 2 will also introduce Allison Janney as Vice President Grace Penn. It is executive produced by Russell, Janice Williams, and Simon Cellan Jones, with Dan Toland producing.
“In the first season, Kate Wyler (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,” reads the official synopsis.
“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 (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.”
