The Diplomat has been renewed for a fifth season by Netflix, the company confirmed on October 29. The announcement follows the release of Season 4, which ended with a high-stakes cliffhanger involving rising tensions between the U.S., U.K., and Russia, and Ambassador Kate Wyler resigning from her post at a G7 summit in Italy.
The series, created by Debora Cahn, stars Keri Russell, Rufus Sewell, Allison Janney, Bradley Whitford, David Gyasi, Rory Kinnear, Ali Ahn, Ato Essandoh, and Nana Mensah. While no release date for Season 5 has been set, the show has historically premiered in October, with past seasons released in 2024, 2025, and 2026.
