Hello, Hello, Hello — Grace Penn is President of the United States?
Yes — but only in the world of Netflix. Grace takes the oath of office in the upcoming season of The Diplomat, the hit political drama starring Keri Russell as Kate Wyler and Rufus Sewell as Hal.
Netflix announced Monday via its X handle that The Diplomat Season 3 will premiere October 16, 2025. The teaser features Kate warning of looming trouble while Grace (played by [actor’s name]) steps into the Oval Office.
The Diplomat Season 3 returned
Since its debut in 2023, The Diplomat has been a powerhouse: Season 1 racked up 173.45 million views in its first four weeks, becoming one of Netflix’s most-watched shows. Season 2 kept the momentum, landing in the Top 10 in over 50 countries.
The new teaser trailer offers more than just Grace’s historic swearing-in. We see Kate grappling with her next role inside the White House itself, while Hal teases her about “keeping an eye on her at all times.” Meanwhile, Grace’s husband Todd (Bradley Whitford) struggles with her sudden rise to power.
As Kate ominously puts it: “A terribly flawed woman is now the president, and only we know just how flawed.”
