Netflix has premiered the official trailer for the fourth season of its acclaimed and award-winning “The Diplomat,” and announced that the series will return on October 15th with all eight episodes of the new run.
Like previous seasons with their cliffhanger endings, this one picks up right after the events of the prior season.
The end of the third season saw US ambassador to the UK Kate Wyler (Keri Russell) finding out that her husband, Vice President Hal Wyler (Rufus Sewell), and President Grace Penn (Allison Janney) had stolen a Russian nuclear weapon and lied to the Brits about its fate.
As a result, their marriage is now at a tipping point, and the fragile diplomatic relations that Kate built between the US and the UK are also under threat as war threatens to break out.
She ends up joining forces with Grace’s husband Todd Penn (Bradley Whitford) to try and prevent a destabilisation of power.
Ato Essandoh, Ali Ahn, David Gyasi, Rory Kinnear, Aidan Turner and Nana Mensah co-star.
