Netflix Renews The Diplomat for a Fifth Season
The renewal follows a Season 4 finale that ended on a cliffhanger for Keri Russell's Kate Wyler and Rufus Sewell's Hal Wyler.
Netflix has renewed The Diplomat for a fifth season, according to Collider. The order extends the political drama created by Debora Cahn beyond its fourth run, which concluded on a cliffhanger.
Keri Russell leads the series as Kate Wyler, while Rufus Sewell plays her husband and fellow diplomat, Hal Wyler. Both are expected to return, though the renewal announcement did not detail casting.
The Diplomat is created by Debora Cahn, whose previous credits include Homeland. The show centres on a career diplomat newly appointed as US Ambassador to the United Kingdom.
In its story, a deadly attack on a British warship is revealed to be part of a larger plot threatening global alliances. The fourth season closed without resolving its central storyline, leaving the follow-up season to pick up the threads.
Netflix has not announced a premiere date for Season 5.
