**FREE** Q&Awards: THE DIPLOMAT: S3 Q&A

Sponsored by Netflix

In Season Three of THE DIPLOMAT, Ambassador Kate Wyler (Keri Russell) lives the particular nightmare that is getting what you want. She just accused Vice President Grace Penn (Allison Janney) of hatching a terrorist plot and admitted she’s after the VP’s job. But now the President is dead, Kate’s husband Hal (Rufus Sewell) may have inadvertently killed him, and Grace Penn is leader of the free world. None of this slows Hal’s campaign to land Kate the vice presidency. Kate steps into a role she never wanted, with a freedom she never expected, an increasingly complicated friendship with Foreign Secretary Austin Dennison (David Gyasi), and an unnerving bond with First Gentleman Todd Penn (Bradley Whitford). From creator, showrunner, and executive producer Debora Cahn, Emmy-nominated series THE DIPLOMAT returns for a third season. Janice Williams, Alex Graves, and Keri Russell are executive producers. Also starring Ali Ahn, Rory Kinnear, and Ato Essandoh. (Synopsis by Netflix)
