Actor couple Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys have been winning fans over this year with their starring roles in some of TV's most popular shows. Rhys recently took home two Emmys for his performances in The Beast in Me and Widow's Bay. Meanwhile, Russell is set to return with the latest season of her hit series, The Diplomat.
Created by Debra Cahn, The Diplomat follows Russell as she unexpectedly becomes the U.S. ambassador to the UK amidst political turmoil. The show has been a critical and ratings success for Netflix since its 2023 debut, securing its annual return unlike some other popular titles (think The Gentlemen).
Holding a 92% overall score on Rotten Tomatoes, Season 3 received rave reviews:
"Elevating both the geopolitical and personal stakes while remembering to have fun, The Diplomat goes from strength to strength throughout its dishy third season." - Rotten Tomatoes
Collider's Meredith Loftus praised the series as "electric from start to finish" in her review.
