Netflix political drama The Diplomat is back for its second season, with Keri Rusell and Rufus Sewell returning as Kate and Hal following the first season's dramatic cliffhanger finale . The series was renewed shortly after the first debuted, while a third run is already in production – a clear sign of Netflix's faith in the show. Russell recently spoke with RadioTimes.
com about how Kate and Hal's relationship will be impacted by the end of season 1, which saw Hal caught up in a car bomb which was seemingly targeting Conservative MP Merrit Grove. Russel said: "I think that's going to be pretty monumental, as it is in life when a big life moment like that happens. And I think it raises the stakes of every single thing Kate is dealing with professionally.
"And we just get right into it, you know, versus season 1 – you're building a whole world, you're introducing characters, you're introducing style and language and jargon and a world of diplomacy and kind of teaching people about that, and season 2, we just jump head first right into it." Also returning to join Russell and Sewell are the likes of David Gyasi and Rory Kinnear, while Allison Janney is joining to play the previously off-screen US Vice President.
