Netflix has unveiled the first image for its upcoming series, “The Diplomat,” which is a hybrid of a political thriller and relationship drama. The show, which stars Keri Russell from “The Americans,” was first announced in February 2022 and will follow the story of a new U.S. ambassador to London as she faces an unexpected international crisis.
The first image of the upcoming political thriller series ‘The Diplomat’ has been released, and it features Keri Russell as a U.S. Ambassador. The show, which is being produced by Russell and her longtime partner, Matthew Rhys, is set to premiere later this year.
The image shows Russell looking regal in her role as the U.S. Ambassador, dressed in formal attire and surrounded by a group of suited men. The series follows the story of Jane Dean (played by Russell), a brilliant but unconventional diplomat who is appointed as the U.S. Ambassador to an African country. As she navigates the complex political landscape of the region, she finds herself drawn into a web of corruption and intrigue that threatens to undermine her mission and put her life in danger.
‘The Diplomat’ promises to be a gripping and tense thriller that explores the complex and often fraught world of international diplomacy. Russell is an accomplished actress who has earned critical acclaim for her roles in a variety of television shows and films, and her portrayal of Jane Dean is sure to be one of her most challenging and memorable performances yet.
The show is being produced by FX Productions, and will be executive produced by Russell, Rhys, and Noah Emmerich, who co-starred with the couple in the hit series ‘The Americans.’ The series is being written by Jason Horwitch, who has worked on shows like ‘House of Cards’ and ‘The Walking Dead,’ and will be directed by Daniel Sackheim, who has directed episodes of shows like ‘Game of Thrones’ and ‘The Americans.’
Overall, ‘The Diplomat’ looks like it will be a must-watch for fans of political thrillers and international intrigue. With Keri Russell at the helm, the show promises to be a smart, sophisticated, and deeply engaging exploration of the world of diplomacy and the people who navigate it.
