The forthcoming episodes of The Diplomat season 2 will commence at the exact moment where the previous season left off. The show's rapid renewal after its successful first season ensures that the cliffhanger will be resolved. In the season 1 finale, Kate Wyler (played by Keri Russell), the newly appointed U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom, faced a dramatic car bombing incident that involved her husband Hal (Rufus Sewell) and deputy chief of mission Stuart Hayford (Ato Essandoh). A reliable source at The Diplomat has confirmed to TVLine that the upcoming episodes will maintain a tight timeline, with only three weeks passing in the first installment. As a result, it is logical for season 2 to begin immediately after the previous events.
The Diplomat Will Have To Speed Up Its Timeline Eventually
The Diplomat confidently establishes Kate as a potential replacement for the Vice President, who will step down due to a financial scandal. This provides a clear endpoint or turning point for the Netflix series. Notably, The Diplomat features Michael McKean as the U.S. president, hinting at his potential to evolve beyond a comedic role. Early episodes of the show depict a decent relationship between Kate and the president, despite their occasional annoyance with each other.
The Diplomat season 2 has the potential to enhance the plot by showcasing a scenario in which Kate, the protagonist, decides to run for the presidency. However, this narrative development would necessitate the dramedy to abandon its condensed timeline. Although the return date for the Netflix series is currently unknown, this recent insider update provides audiences with some insight into what they can anticipate.
