The Diplomat, a political thriller series starring Keri Russell, was released on Netflix.
Keri Russell, Rufus Sewell, David Gyasi, Ali Ahn, Rory Kinnear, and Ato Essandoh are the leading actors of the series. Celia Imrie, Michael McKean, Nana Mensah, T'Nia Miller, and Miguel Sandoval are the names we will see in the series as guest actors.
Kate Wyler (Keri Russell) is appointed as the new US ambassador to the UK while awaiting deployment to Afghanistan. However, although she has done great work in crisis regions, she does not have the qualifications that would enable her to achieve the same level of success in a country with historical ties to the USA.
Moreover, she undertook this task under war conditions that were getting out of control in one continent and were about to spread to the other continent. Kate must resolve international crises, form strategic alliances, and adapt to her new position with all eyes on her.
As if these challenging responsibilities were not enough, she must also try to save her marriage with the famous politician Hal Wyler (Rufus Sewell), who is also a diplomat.
