- Country:
- United States
Netflix’s announcement to renew The Diplomat for Season 2 was expected after the show's successful premiere in April 2023. While fans are eager for more, Netflix has not disclosed the exact release date for the upcoming season.
When Might Season 2 of The Diplomat Be Released?
It’s likely that Season 2 of The Diplomat could be streaming on Netflix as early as 2024, though an official date has not been set. The initial announcement of the series was made in January 2022, with the first season premiering 15 months later. The production of the second season experienced delays in London due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike, which may affect its release.
Netflix has confirmed that production for Season 2 is underway, recently sharing a behind-the-scenes photo featuring Russell and Cahn on the set. This update indicates progress despite earlier delays, keeping anticipation high among the show’s audience.
What Will The Diplomat Season 2 Focus On?
The finale of The Diplomat Season 1 ended in suspense, with key characters near a bomb explosion. Hal Wyler (Rufus Sewell), Stuart Heyford (Ato Essandoh), Ronnie (Jess Chanliau), and Merritt Grove are all affected by the blast. The scene concludes abruptly as the camera cuts to black, leaving their fates unknown.
The upcoming season will address the aftermath of this cliffhanger. It will track the investigation led by U.S. Ambassador Kate Wyler (Keri Russell) and Austin Dennison (David Gyasi) into Prime Minister Nicol Trowbridge (Rory Kinnear), who they suspect of orchestrating the attack. The storyline might include either recovery or funerals of the characters involved in the blast.
In an interview with Netflix’s Tudum, Rufus Sewell shared his thoughts on his character's future and the overall tension of the show. He hopes for Hal’s survival and the continuation of the dramatic intensity, saying, “I just have to hope that there’ll be a second season, and that everyone will be OK. But the drama needs to be real.”
Sewell also touched on the strained relationship between Kate and Hal, indicating that their marital issues could provide significant content for the series moving forward. He speculated, “I like to think there are enough problems to last us [a few seasons]. Who knows?”
Updates on The Diplomat Season 2 will be provided as Netflix releases more information.
Who will be in the cast in Diplomat Season 2?
The success of The Diplomat is partly due to the dynamic ensemble cast. For Season 2, the main cast is expected to return, maintaining the chemistry that fans admired in the first season. This includes Keri Russell, Rufus Sewell, Ali Ahn, Ato Essandoh, David Gyasi, Rory Kinnear, and Miguel Sandoval, among others.
Netflix has confirmed a new addition to the lineup for Season 2. Allison Janney will join the cast as Vice President Grace Penn. This addition is expected to bring a fresh dynamic to the ongoing political intrigue of the series.
