The Netflix series has upped Allison Janney and Bradley Whitford to series regular status for its fourth season. The two Emmy winners are billed as guest stars in season three of The Diplomat, which is set to premiere Oct. 16.
Season four is set to begin production in the fall, which can keep the show on track for a return sometime in 2026.
Janney joined The Diplomat in the show’s second season, playing Vice President Grace Penn — who (spoiler alert) will be ascending to the presidency following the death of President William Rayburn (Michael McKean) in the final moments of the season. Whitford plays Grace’s husband, Todd Penn.
More to come.
