The Diplomat, a new political thriller starring Keri Russell, is about to drop on Netflix – so, here’s how to watch it and what time it’ll be out on streaming.
Netflix has it all. Erotic, trashy dramas like Obsession? Check. Sweaty, addictive reality shows like Physical 100? Check. Incredible black comedies like Beef? Check.
However, it’s dealt in political entertainment since the early 2010s. House of Cards was once one of the platform’s biggest shows, paving the way for Designated Survivor’s success. Now, we’re turning back the clock to the days of 24’s dominance, with action-packed politicking guaranteed to top the chart.
The Diplomat comes from Debora Cahn, a writer-producer who worked on The West Wing and Homeland – here’s everything you need to know about how to watch it and what time it’ll be available to stream.

“War is brewing on one continent and boiling over on another. Kate will have to diffuse international crises, forge strategic alliances in London, and adjust to her new place in the spotlight — all while trying to survive her marriage to fellow career diplomat and political star Hal Wyler (Rufus Sewell).”
