How Keri Russell and Allison Janney Changed the Game in The Diplomat Season 2

The stakes have never been higher in creator and writer Debora Cahn’s The Diplomat. The second season of the Golden Globe Award–nominated drama opens moments after the first season’s climactic conclusion: Kate Wyler (Keri Russell), an American diplomat and ambassador to the United Kingdom, has just learned about an explosion in London that affects her husband, Hal (Rufus Sewell), and members of her staff, including her deputy chief of mission, Stuart Hayford (Ato Essandoh).

It’s only the latest crisis Kate must navigate: She’s developed a romantic connection with Foreign Secretary Austin Dennison (David Gyasi), while also unofficially auditioning for the role of vice president in a struggling administration back home and investigating an attack on a British aircraft carrier by an unknown perpetrator.

Showrunner and executive producer Cahn (The West Wing) saw Season 2 as an opportunity to examine the trauma and emotions that arise from such a terrifying event, and the lingering impact this has on relationships, both interpersonal and diplomatic. “This horrific tragedy, and what events like this do to a group of people who are working together overseas, immediately took over the season — almost more than we had initially anticipated,” explains the Writers Guild of America Award winner. “The healing and grieving process is uneven and hard to predict; it was something that we wanted to honor as realistically as possible.”

The complete interview can be read over at Netflix.

Keri Russell arrived at the 2025 Golden Globes solo.

On Sunday, Jan. 5, The Diplomat star, 48, made her entrance on the red carpet and explained why she wasn’t accompanied by Matthew Rhys during an interview with Entertainment Tonight and Variety.

“I flew in from a family trip. It’s just so fun to be here,” she shared, before revealing why her husband wasn’t with her. “He flew the kids home for me. But I just got to talk to Gary Oldman who is like, his idol and he said, ‘Send Matthew my love.’ So I just texted him that right now and he was pumped.”
