Netflix dropped The Diplomat season 2 trailer! 5 takeaways to gear us up for what comes next
As a seasoned political thriller enthusiast who’s lived through more White Houses than I care to count, let me tell you – The Diplomat season 2 is shaping up to be a real treat for those of us who love our dramas with a side of international intrigue!
The second season of “The Diplomat” is approaching soon, and the teaser offers substantial clues regarding what lies ahead for this popular Netflix series!
In the first season of “The Diplomat,” we’re introduced to Kate Wyler (played by Keri Russell), who finds herself unexpectedly appointed as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom. Her husband, Hal (Rufus Sewell), a once prominent ambassador whose career was tarnished by scandal, accompanies her. The couple is on the brink of divorce. As tensions rise at sea and threaten to ignite a war between the U.K. and Russia, Kate faces numerous challenges. Additionally, she discovers that she’s being prepared for a higher position, that of Vice President, a role she’s not keen on. Despite this, she perseveres, skillfully maneuvering through intricate diplomatic machinations and deception.
The last episode of the season concluded with Hal and Stuart Hayford (played by Ato Essandoh) finding themselves in a car bombing situation. Simultaneously, Kate and foreign secretary Austin Dennison (David Gyasi) discovered that the mastermind behind this plot was none other than British Prime Minister Trowbridge (portrayed by Roy Kinnear), who aspired to gain fame as a “war PM.” This revelation left them stunned, and now we’re left on tenterhooks. Fortunately, a sneak peek at the trailer for season 2 of The Diplomat gives us a glimpse into what lies ahead. Take a look below!
Here are 5 insights hinted at in the preview, setting the stage for what lies ahead.
Hal is alive
It’s good news for fans that the trailer confirms Hal is alive, albeit not in perfect health. It seems Hayford has also survived, but it’s unfortunate that others did not. The story reveals Hal using a cane and being in a hospital bed initially, which isn’t surprising given Sewell’s exceptional portrayal. As always, Hal’s attempts to help only seem to complicate matters for Kate further.
Kate and Dennison are getting closer
It appears that Kate and Hal’s marriage could be on the verge of ending, which would negatively impact Kate’s reputation. Furthermore, there seems to be growing intimacy between Kate and Dennison, as evidenced by an intense exchange where Hal questions if Kate is having an affair with Dennison. Kate denies it initially, but when asked if she intends to, she responds affirmatively. This developing relationship between them could potentially escalate into a passionate romance, adding even more drama and heat to the show.
It’s Kate vs Trowbridge
In the trailer, Kate suggests to her allies that Trowbridge is preparing to wage war for personal gain, and that investigating the Prime Minister of England presents an obvious challenge. She warns ominously, “The enemy is within our midst,” as Trowbridge uses a perceived attack on Hal as a pretext for conflict. As Kate pushes against him forcefully, she tells him, “You’re not playing chess, you’re playing checkers,” hinting that he underestimates the potential devastation of war. This promises to deliver an exciting season full of suspense and intrigue.
Is Kate becoming VP?
A significant aspect of the series revolves around Kate’s reluctance to assume the role of Vice President. She prefers to stay out of the spotlight and is aware that she’s destined to be married to Hal. Yet, there’s a scene where Kate stands on a platform amidst a cheering crowd, hinting that she might indeed accept the position. This potential decision by Kate would be daring, as she faces a substantial hurdle in her path.
Allison Janney is going to be a steely foe
In a nutshell, Kate isn’t popular as a VP candidate with anyone else, including the current Vice President. The series finale features Emmy and Oscar-winning actress Allison Janney portraying Vice President Grace Penn. Her stern gaze towards Kate suggests she isn’t pleased about being replaced. The upcoming season of The Diplomat, starring Janney and Russell, promises intense showdowns and increased tension, making it even more intriguing than the first season.
The Diplomat season 2 premieres Thursday, Oct. 31, 2024 on Netflix.
