Netflix's political drama, The Diplomat, is returning for its third season on Thursday, October 16th, featuring eight episodes, matching the length of Season 1 after Season 2 was shortened. The new season immediately follows the explosive Season 2 finale where President Rayburn died, potentially due to actions involving Kate Wyler's husband, Hal, resulting in Vice President Grace Penn becoming the new POTUS. Keri Russell reprises her role as Kate Wyler, who is still the U.S. Ambassador to the UK, now dealing with a complicated dynamic with the new President, whom she previously accused of orchestrating a terrorist plot. Despite the upheaval, Hal is still campaigning to secure the vice presidency for Kate, leaving them as the only ones privy to the new President's past actions. The cast returns with key players like Rufus Sewell, David Gyasi, and Allison Janney, with Bradley Whitford joining as the First Gentleman, reuniting him with Janney from The West Wing. The season promises further intrigue as Kate balances her new responsibilities, a complicated friendship with Foreign Secretary Austin Dennison, and the unsettling bond with the First Gentleman.
