Off the heels of Netflix’s extreme success with the political thriller, The Diplomat season 2 picks up directly after the events of the season 1 finale. Keri Russell plays Kate Wyler, the United States Ambassador to the United Kingdom, whose husband and fellow diplomat Hal Wyler (Rufus Sewell) nearly lost his life in a car bombing. Now the couple, whose relationship has been on the rocks for some time, must stand united as the U.S. government works to uncover the forces pulling the strings behind the recent aircraft carrier bombing.
