The Diplomat has officially scheduled its next public appearance: Season 3 of the Netflix political thriller will premiere Thursday, Oct. 16 on the streamer with all eight episodes, TVLine has learned.
Netflix has also dropped another first-look teaser for the new season, with Allison Janney’s Grace Penn taking the oath of office as Kate warns Hal: “A terribly flawed woman is now the President, and only we know just how flawed.” We also get a glimpse of new cast addition Bradley Whitford as Grace’s husband Todd Penn, and Hal assures Kate: “You will be in the White House, watching what she does, all the time.” (Hmmm… does this mean Kate gets the VP slot she’s been angling for?)

In Season 3, “Ambassador Kate Wyler (Keri Russell) lives the particular nightmare that is getting what you want,” per the official synopsis. “She just accused Vice President Grace Penn of hatching a terrorist plot and admitted she’s after the VP’s job. But now the President is dead, Kate’s husband Hal (Rufus Sewell) may have inadvertently killed him, and Grace Penn is leader of the free world. None of this slows Hal’s campaign to land Kate the vice presidency. Kate steps into a role she never wanted, with a freedom she never expected, an increasingly complicated friendship with Foreign Secretary Austin Dennison (David Gyasi), and an unnerving bond with First Gentleman Todd Penn.”
