The Diplomat premiered on April 20 on Netflix and debuted at the top spot of Netflix's weekly global Top 10 TV (English-spoken) list. The series accumulated 57.48 million hours viewed in that period and appeared in the Top 10 in 86 countries.

As provided by Netflix, the synopsis of The Diplomat Season 1 is, “Kate Wyler (Keri Russell) is the new US Ambassador to the United Kingdom. She was supposed to go to Afghanistan. She’s great in a crisis zone. In a historic home… less so. War is brewing on one continent and boiling over on another. Kate will have to diffuse international crises, forge strategic alliances in London, and adjust to her new place in the spotlight — all while trying to survive her marriage to fellow career diplomat and political star Hal Wyler (Rufus Sewell). From showrunner Debora Cahn (The West Wing, Homeland), The Diplomat is a high-stakes, contemporary political drama about the transcendence and torture of long-term relationships, between countries and people. Also starring David Gyasi, Ali Ahn, Rory Kinnear, and Ato Essandoh, with executive producers Debora Cahn, Janice Williams, and Keri Russell.”

The Diplomat Season 1 is streaming on Netflix now.
