The stakes are higher than ever in the much-anticipated second season of “The Diplomat,” set to launch on October 31st.

The series resumes with a dramatic twist as US Ambassador Kate Wyler, portrayed by Keri Russell, grapples with the aftermath of a deadly explosion in London—an attack that shakes the very foundations of her world.

Season two of “The Diplomat” unravels a gripping narrative where the danger comes startlingly close to home. The attack that threw Kate’s life into disarray is traced back not to international foes, but to a mole within the British government itself. This revelation forces Kate into a perilous quest for the truth, with her estranged husband Hal Wyler, played by Rufus Sewell, emerging as her unexpected yet pivotal ally.

Complicating matters are Kate’s strained relations with British Foreign Secretary Austin Dennison (David Gyasi) and a tense, threatening encounter with Vice President Grace Penn, a role guest-starred by Allison Janney. With her marriage and professional alliances teetering on the brink, Kate finds herself navigating a labyrinth of political intrigue and personal betrayals.

“The Diplomat” S2 is helmed by creator and showrunner Deborah Cahn, alongside a stellar team of executive producers including Janice Williams, Peter Noah, Alex Graves, and star Keri Russell herself. The series promises to deliver a blend of suspense, drama, and geopolitical intricacies, set against the backdrop of London’s historic charm.
