‘The Diplomat’ Stars Unpack Realities Of Foreign Diplomacy In Conversation With Irish Ambassador; Creator Debora Cahn Tees Up Season 2


The cast of The Diplomat unpacks Season 1 in conversation with the Irish Ambassador, and creator Debora Cahn also spoke with Deadline to tease Season 2

In April, on the morning before the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, Deadline gathered the stars of Netflix’s The Diplomat, Keri Russell and Rufus Sewell, and the show’s executive producer and showrunner Deborah Cahn, for a conversation with Irish Ambassador Geraldine Byrne Nason at her residence. I think I wanted to represent the fact that people do come into this work with tremendous idealism and maintain it throughout their careers, but then do learn that the making of the sausage is just complicated and hard and needs to be done. You’re bringing people into a world and allowing them to live there as residents for a period of time, as opposed to taking them on a single journey that’s sort of hurtling through space.
