'The Diplomat': Netflix Renews Keri Russell Series for Season 5
On Thursday, Netflix announced the renewal of the political thriller The Diplomat for a fifth season, just two weeks after the latest season debuted on October 15.
Strong viewership performance fueled the renewal, as the latest season reached Netflix's global top 10 list and landed in the top 10 in 63 countries.
Ambassador Kate Wyler dramatically resigned during a G7 summit in Italy, ending the season, while Vice President Hal Wyler prepared to address reporters, saying merely "good morning" before the scene cut to black.
Award-Winning talent anchors the show; Keri Russell won a SAG Actor Award and Allison Janney won an Emmy, while creator Debora Cahn leads production with executive producers Janice Williams, Alex Graves, Peter Noah, and Eli Attie.
Creator Debora Cahn described the series as a "living organism" rather than a fixed plan, noting she is not yet nearing the end of this story. Season 5 appears to be far from the final installment.
