Netflix's 'The Diplomat' Will Reenter Negotiations With Season 2

Less than two weeks after its premiere, Netflix has renewed its popular political drama The Diplomat for a second season.

The contemporary political drama stars award-winning actress Keri Russell (The Americans) as Kate Wyler, the newly appointed U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom, who must immediately handle an international crisis, navigate the duties of a job she didn't really want (Kate was originally meant to be posted to Afghanistan), and deal with the problems her new post is causing in her marriage to Hal (Rufus Sewell), a fellow well known diplomatic negotiator in his own right.

The Diplomat debuted at the top of Netflix's weekly global Top 10 TV English list. In its first weekend on the platform, the series logged over 57 million hours viewed and appeared in the Top 10 in 86 countries.
