A tense political thriller starring The Americans’ Keri Russell? Count us in.

Landing on Netflix later this month, The Diplomat sees Russell take on the role of Kate Wyler, an American career diplomat who has just landed a high-profile job as the US Ambassador to the United Kingdom.

While others might celebrate securing such a prestigious gig, Kate isn’t exactly thrilled - she’d been told that her next role would be in Afghanistan, and London doesn’t suit her.

Her new job, though, certainly won’t be boring. With war a very real possibility across multiple continents, Kate will have to form alliances and adapt to the glare that comes with her role - while dealing with the fact that her husband - and fellow ambassador - can’t seem to help himself from getting involved in her work.

Intrigued? Here’s everything we know so far about the series before it drops next week.
