Will The Diplomat Season 4 Get the Green Light or Face a Final Curtain?
Season 3 blew up the status quo—will Netflix greenlight The Diplomat for Season 4, or is the mission over? Here’s the latest intel.
If you were bracing for Netflix to pull the plug on The Diplomat after that big Season 3 ending, you can unclench. The show is coming back.
So, is Season 4 happening?
Yes. The Diplomat has been officially renewed for Season 4 at Netflix. It has a green light, it is in production, and it needs a little more time. Translation: no release date yet.
Showrunner and executive producer Debora Cahn told Netflix's Tudum that she’s fired up about what’s next, and even gave a little peek at her process:
"I'm so excited about Season 4. 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.'"
Quick refresher: what this show is doing
The Diplomat follows Kate Wyler, a sharp U.S. diplomat who gets unexpectedly tapped to be the American ambassador to the U.K. right as an international crisis heats up. She’s juggling global stakes, messy politics, and the equally complicated marriage to fellow diplomat Hal Wyler. The show blends political chess moves with bite, humor, and all the personal sacrifice that comes with high-level foreign policy.
