Netflix’s political thriller series has received praise. The Diplomat returned to screens with its 8-episode season 4 and entered the platform’s top 10 most-watched series. In the Emmy-nominated series, Keri Russell plays Kate Wyler, the US Ambassador to the United Kingdom, while Rufus Sewell portrays Vice President Hal Wyler.
In the third season finale, Kate uncovered a betrayal involving President Grace Penn (Allison Janney) and her husband. She is trying to protect her marriage and the peace. In the new season, Kate attempts to repair her marriage while also striving to preserve the fragile peace between the US and the United Kingdom.
