The Diplomat Season 3 Confirmed for 2025 – First Look & Production Updates

Netflix’s hit political thriller The Diplomat is officially returning for Season 3 in late 2025.

After its two-season renewal, the series has been filming nearly back-to-back, ensuring fans won’t have to wait too long.

When Will The Diplomat Season 3 Be Released?

Netflix confirmed during its Next on Netflix 2025 event that Season 3 will arrive later this year. While no exact date has been revealed, a Q3-Q4 release is expected.

Production Status

• Filming for Season 3 began in late July 2024 in London and continued into early 2025 in New York.
• The current schedule has filming wrapping by March 20, 2025.
• Delays in 2023 due to the Hollywood strikes pushed production back.

Who’s in the Cast?

• Keri Russell returns as Ambassador Kate Wyler.
• Rufus Sewell reprises his role as her husband, Hal Wyler.
• Allison Janney returns as Vice President Grace Penn, introduced in Season 2.
• Bradley Whitford joins the cast as Todd Penn, Grace’s husband.
• Other returning cast members are yet to be confirmed.

This marks a reunion for Janney and Whitford, who last worked together in The West Wing, where they played C.J. Cregg and Josh Lyman—a show that Diplomat creator Debora Cahn also worked on.

What to Expect in Season 3?

With Season 2 receiving mixed reactions due to its shortened six-episode count, fans hope Season 3 will bring back the political intrigue, high-stakes diplomacy, and character-driven drama that made the first season a success.
