It’s taken just two weeks for Netflix to make a decision about the future of The Diplomat. The Keri Russell drama dropped its entire fourth season, and all eyes were on whether it would be back for more.
The great news is it’s a yes. Netflix has renewed The Diplomat for Season 5, and that’s not too surprising when you consider the streaming numbers. According to Deadline, the series opened with 4.8 million views in its first week, which matched ratings for the third season. It’s clear that the viewers are loyal.
Details of this fifth season are under wraps right now. Russell and her co-star Rufus Sewell joked that they would like the season to take place “somewhere very exotic,” suggesting that there could be “trouble in Fiji,” but that was just one of their pipe dreams.
Series creator Debora Cahn had previously shared that while she knows where the characters will end up, she doesn’t know how long it will take to get there, making it clear before the renewal that there was a plan for a fifth season. Is there a plan for more after that? Well, that will be partly up to Netflix, but The Diplomat Season 5 isn’t confirmed as the last.

Costs for Netflix increase exponentially, which is why very few Netflix shows reach this point.
The Diplomat Season 4 ended with Kate Wyler dramatically resigning from her post during the G7 meeting in Italy. Her husband, Vice President Hal Wyler, even joined her, completely blowing up everything when it came to the White House and the fate of America.
The fourth season saw the introduction of Jodie Whittaker as Prime Minister Bethan Vaughn in the UK, but it’s not clear if she will return for the fifth season. One person not expected to return is David Gyasi, who played British Foreign Secretary Austin Dennison, as the character was killed off. Of course, that never completely prevents returns, as ghosts and flashbacks are always possible.
With no schedule for writing and filming just yet, the best guess for The Diplomat Season 5 to come to Netflix is 2028.
