Netflix has officially renewed The Diplomat for a third season, even before the second season makes its debut on the streaming platform. The forthcoming season will continue to explore the life of Kate Wyler, the central character, along with her intricate political endeavors on the global stage.
In fact, production for The Diplomat season 3 had already commenced in the weeks leading up to the release of the second season. Filming is currently being conducted in both London and New York City. While an exact premiere date hasn’t been announced by Netflix, it’s anticipated that the third season will be available sometime in late 2025 or early 2026.
Anticipated Themes in The Diplomat Season 3
Debora Cahn, the showrunner, shared insights with Netflix’s Tudum regarding the show’s renewal and offered a glimpse into what fans can expect. She remarked:
“Season 3 flips the chessboard. In Season 3, Kate lives the particular nightmare that is getting what you want.”
Season three is expected to pick up right where season two concludes, centering on the contest for the Vice Presidency. In light of the president’s sudden death and Grace Penn’s ascent to power, Kate could be in line to take on the vacant Vice President position.
However, the relationship between Grace and Kate will undoubtedly play a pivotal role. Given their tense interactions, audiences can expect Grace to devise strategies to thwart Kate’s aspirations for the position.
