The Diplomat season 3 will release a highly anticipated new chapter in the political drama in Fall 2025. A teaser for the upcoming season was released by Netflix on June 12, 2025. It gave viewers a glimpse into what they could expect from The Diplomat season 3.
The story follows US diplomat Kate Wyler as she explores the fast-changing nature of her high-stakes job. The finale of last season left viewers shocked with its big revelation involving Vice President Grace Penn and the sudden death of President Rayburn.

What to expect from The Diplomat season 3?
Tudum published an article about the show on June 12, 2025, where Debora Cahn discussed the third season. She stated that the upcoming season will change the dynamics of the game that the characters are used to in the complicated political arena.
"Season 3 flips the chessboard. In Season 3, Kate lives the particular nightmare that is getting what you want,” she added.
Another reason for the anticipation of the new season is the inclusion of the Emmy Award Winner, Bradley Whitford, in the primary cast. He will be seen as Grace Penn's husband, Todd Penn.
From the teaser, it seems that his presence will stir up Kate's life as she now has to deal with Grace as the new President, whom she had just accused of hatching a terrorist plot and admitted she’s after the VP’s job.
Whitform shared his excitement about joining the cast with Tudum, saying that he was "thrilled" to hear that "Debora was interested in me doing something."
"I had no idea what it was, but I love the show. I was jealous of the writing on this show. I love Keri. I love Rufus. And I hear Allison Janney is good at acting, too. It’s an amazing cast," he added.
