The Diplomat — Season 3

Now, with the sudden death of the President, her husband Hal’s potential involvement casts a long shadow, and the very woman she targeted now holds the reins of power. Despite the chaos, Hal remains laser-focused on propelling Kate toward the vice presidency—a role she never sought. Thrust into an unexpected spotlight, Kate navigates a complex landscape of newfound freedom, a deepening friendship with Foreign Secretary Austin Dennison, and a disturbingly intimate connection to First Gentleman Todd Penn, all while grappling with the fallout of events spiraling far beyond her control.
