Watch a trailer for ‘The Diplomat’ Season 3

What is ‘The Diplomat’ Season 3 about?

Season 3 picks up right after that insane Season 2 ending, and things could not be messier. Kate Wyler (Keri Russell) just called out Vice President Grace Penn (Allison Janney) for planning a terrorist attack, and now Penn is somehow president after the sudden death of her boss. To make things worse, Kate’s husband Hal (Rufus Sewell) might’ve had a hand in it, but that’s not stopping him from pushing Kate to take the VP job herself.

Basically, Kate’s living a total nightmare. She’s stuck juggling power plays, backroom deals, and a new president she doesn’t trust. Meanwhile, her friendship with British Foreign Secretary Austin Dennison (David Gyasi) is getting complicated, and First Gentleman Todd Penn (Bradley Whitford) is stirring up even more drama. Expect chaos, secret agendas, and a ton of moments that’ll have you yelling at the screen as Kate tries to keep her job, her marriage, and the world from completely falling apart.

How can you catch up with ‘The Diplomat’ before Season 3 drops?

If you still need to catch up, the good news is every past season of “The Diplomat” is streaming on Netflix. That means you can binge Seasons 1 and 2 before the new one premieres on Oct. 16. Each season raises the tension, so it’s worth watching from the start to see how Kate’s world got so complicated before diving into the new season.

After you watch the first episode of ‘The Diplomat’ Season 3, let us know what you think in the comments below.
