The Diplomat Storyline

Being a political thriller drama, the show’s storyline revolves around the US London Embassy. The show is mainly about a career diplomat who just got a new role as the Ambassador in London. 

Along with this new role, she also gets lots of new responsibilities and so much more beyond that. Not just her work but her personal life also folds quite unexpectedly. While all such things are going on, there are some shocking international crises waiting just to happen. Truly a thriller, right? 

The Diplomat Cast

Mainly there are three characters in this show. The lead character of the Ambassador i.e. Katie will be played by Keri Russell. She was last seen as Elizabeth Jennings in The Americans. She was also in Dark Skies, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and more. 

The second one is Hal Wyler played by Rufus Sewell in The Diplomat. He is Katie’s husband and also happens to be a former ambassador. Rufus was last seen on Dark City, The Illusionist, and Jigsaw – Netflix series. 

There is one more interesting role i.e. Eidra Graham who will be played by Ali Ahn. She plays the CIA Chief of Station in London. It would be quite interesting to see a female role in such a power position.
