Keri Russell Confronts a “Culture of Consistent Lawlessness” in ‘The Diplomat’ Season 4 Trailer

The Diplomat, a Netflix political thriller starring Keri Russell, is set to return for its fourth season on October 15. In the latest trailer, Russell's character Kate Wyler, the American ambassador to the U.K., confronts her husband Hal, who is now the vice president, and President Grace Penn about their aggressive approach to foreign policy. According to TVLine, Kate accuses Hal of stealing a powerful nuclear weapon from a Russian submarine without telling their U.K. allies.

Kate expresses concern that Hal and President Penn are "dangerous" together, questioning who checks their actions. She directly tells President Penn that her "tolerance for risk to human life seems higher than it was."
