The Diplomat returns for fourth season on Netflix

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 9 Oct, 19:31 · Archive

Netflix releases the fourth season of The Diplomat, the political thriller in which a US Vice-President and President have committed a secret act of aggression against the UK.

The Diplomat has returned for its fourth season on Netflix. The new episodes pick up in the immediate aftermath of season three's shock finale, in which Kate (Keri Russell) discovers that her husband Hal (Rufus Sewell), now Vice-President of the United States, and President Grace Penn (Allison Janney) have secretly committed an act of aggression against their closest ally, the UK.

Kate confronts the two with the question: 'The two of you together are dangerous — who pumps the brakes when it's you two in the room?' The season explores the fallout from this revelation and what happens next.

The show's creator Debora Cahn told press that the season represents the beginning of a longer arc for the series. 'I grew up in broadcast television, where one season was 22, sometimes 25 episodes, so it feels like we're just getting started,' she said. 'It doesn't feel to me like we're in season four. It feels like we're in the juicy middle.' Cahn previously worked as writer and executive producer on the final two seasons of Homeland.
