Keri Russell’s Netflix Political Drama Series ‘The Diplomat’ Reveals Official Trailer

Netflix has released a trailer for its upcoming political drama series titled The Diplomat, which stars Keri Russell as Kate Wyler. In the series, Kate becomes the new US Ambassador to the United Kingdom amid an international crisis and war, and she is not exactly suited for the job, which has serious implications for her marriage and political future.

The show’s synopsis reveals that Kate was originally supposed to go to Afghanistan, as she is great in crisis zones, but in a historic home, not so much. With war brewing on one continent and boiling over on another, Kate must diffuse international crises, forge strategic alliances in London, and adapt to her new position in the spotlight while trying to navigate her marriage to fellow career diplomat and political star Hal Wyler (Rufus Sewell).

The Diplomat was created and is showrun by Debora Cahn, who has previously worked on shows such as The West Wing, Grey’s Anatomy, and Homeland. Alongside Russell and Sewell, the series stars David Gyasi, Ali Ahn, Rory Kinnear, and Ato Essandoh, with guests including Celia Imrie, Michael McKean, Nana Mensah, and T’Nia Miller.

The Diplomat will debut on Netflix on April 20th, 2023.
