'The Diplomat' Season 2 Will Not Have a Significant Time Jump

The Keri Russell and Rufus Sewell-led series was renewed just days after it landed on the streamer.

One of the new shows that arrived on Netflix in recent months was their political thriller, The Diplomat. After a successful launch on the streamer which saw the show land a number one spot on Netflix’s weekly global Top 10 TV list, the streamer decided to renew the series for a second season. Given the success of the show, we assume it was a fairly easy decision to make.

COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Diplomat follows Keri Russell's Kate Wyler, who moves to London with her politically astute husband Hal when she is appointed as the American Ambassador to the UK despite her very strong reservations about the role. The eight-episode first season sees the couple navigate both diplomatic and personal storms while wrestling with the idea of accepting the gig to become Vice President.

It has been revealed via TV Line, that the second season of the political thriller will not be seeing a time jump, however, the drama is set to pick up roughly around where it took a break. “It will pick up right away,” a Diplomat source confirms about the second season. The source adds that The Diplomat “has a really compressed timeline — something like three weeks pass in Season 1 — so it makes sense that Season 2 would start moments later.
