Netflix Sets an October Premiere Date for 'The Diplomat' Season 2
Netflix has finally set a premiere date for the return of its buzzy political thriller The Diplomat, one of its biggest and most surprising hits of the last year.
The contemporary political drama stars Emmy winner Keri Russell (The Americans) as Kate Wyler, the newly appointed U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom, who must immediately handle an international crisis, learn the duties of a job she didn't want in the first place --- she was originally meant to be sent to Afghanistan --- and deal with the problems her new post is causing in her marriage to Hal (Rufus Sewell), a well-known former diplomatic figure in his own right.
The first season ended with a bang --- literally. While the series began with the attack on the HMS Courageous which was the reason Kate was brought to London, it concludes with the revelation that the U.K. Prime Minister likely orchestrated the entire event, and a car bomb meant to keep those who might figure out the truth quiet.
