Diplomatic Relations Season 2: Plot

“Diplomatic Relations” is about US Ambassador Kate Wyler, who is transferred from Afghanistan to the British Embassy. Especially as an international crisis unfolds. Wyler’s job is to prevent World War III and ensure peace and order.

At the end of season 1 we learn that British Prime Minister Nicol Trowbride was behind the attack on the warship that triggered the crisis situation. Kate also reveals that the planned arrest of the Russian mercenary Roman Lenkov in Paris is intended to turn into a murder plot. The only one who benefits from this assassination is Trowbridge.

The final episode of season 1 ends, as the series began, with another explosion. This time triggered by a bomb attached to Deputy Merrit Grove’s vehicle. Stuart and Kate’s husband Hal were also in the car.

In the final scene of the series we see Kate find out about the attack on her husband. The content of the conversation is unknown, so we don’t know if there were any survivors. Who carried out the attack is still speculation at the moment, but that will be clarified in the coming second season. Trowbridge and his advisor Margaret Roylin are under suspicion.

For the second season of “Diplomatic Relations,” “The Americans” actress Keri Russell will once again take on the role of diplomat Kate Wyler. Rory Kinnear (“The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power”) will probably again portray Prime Minister Nicol Trowbridge.

Further cast members for the second season of “Diplomatic Relations” have not yet been announced. After the attack on Representative Merrit Grove’s car, her life hangs in the balance.
