Netflix just announced several renewals at their annual Upfront Presentation, one of the biggest being the return of The Diplomat, which has been renewed for a fourth season. The streamer also confirmed that season 3, now deep into post-production, is scheduled to arrive on our screens in the Fall of 2025, with Bradley Whitford added to the cast alongside Keri Russell, Allison Janney, and Rufus Sewell.
Debora Chan will continue showrunning duties for the fourth season, although additional information has yet to be revealed. The series is expected to return sometime in either 2026 or 2027.
