Netflix gives the go-ahead for The Diplomat season five

This announcement comes two weeks after The Diplomat‘s fourth season premiered on the streamer. The new episodes follow ambassador Kate Wyler (Russell) and her vice president hubby, Hal (Sewell), as tensions between the U.S. and the U.K. spike following an assassination attempt on President Grace Penn (Janney) at Windsor Castle (of all places). This renewal is a rare moment of stability and continuity at an ever-shifting Netflix, which has recently undergone deep cuts across its global TV division, with its most recent shake-up resulting the departure of former chief content officer Bela Bajaria and the dismissal of original-series executive Carolina García. Former Disney executive Peter Rice took over Bajaria’s role in late October.
