Political thrillers aren’t in danger of falling out of style anytime soon. The Diplomat is currently the third most-watched English show on Netflix, gathering 4.8 million views this week alone. With season 3 in the rearview mirror, fans are already asking for more.
Add in the fact that the explosive finale delivered a bunch of cliffhangers, and it’s natural to worry about whether you’ll find out what happens next. No need to fret, as we actually have excellent news.
The Diplomat Season 4 Release Date
Netflix has renewed the series for additional episodes, so The Diplomat season 4 is definitely happening.
“It’s going to be a lot of fun. We get to the end of a season, and I always think, Well, there’s no way that we can do this again. And then we dig back into it, and it’s like, Oh my God, we have to keep going,” series creator Debora Cahn teased when asked about season 4.
There’s no official premiere date just yet. Given that the production was set to begin this fall, however, we expect new episodes to arrive sometime in late 2025.

What Could Happen in The Diplomat Season 4?
The Diplomat revolves around Kate Wyler, a veteran US diplomat appointed Ambassador to the United Kingdom. We follow her as she navigates high-stakes international crises and public scrutiny. All the while, she’s also grappling with her personal life, including her marriage to fellow career diplomat Hal.
The show blends global politics with intimate dramas, which makes it particularly addictive. The narrative also evolves with each season and sees Kate deal with increasingly complicated issues, which is part of the fun.
Season 3 significantly raises the stakes, both personally and geopolitically. By the time the end credits roll, the riveting finale hints that The Diplomat season 4 might tackle a global political fallout. Needless to say, you’ll want to tune in for that.
