After renewing Nobody Wants This for a second season, Netflix is also showing some early love to one of its other signature series. The Diplomat, led by Keri Russell, isn’t returning for Season 2 until later this month, but that isn’t stopping Netflix from renewing the series for Season 3.

Per Variety, Netflix has handed out an early Season 3 renewal to The Diplomat ahead of its Season 2 premiere on Oct. 31. With news of the renewal also comes word that production has already started on the third season in London and New York. When speaking about the third season, creator and showrunner Debora Cahn said, “Season 3 flips the chessboard. Kate lives in the particular nightmare that is getting what you want.”

The Diplomat follows Kate Wyler (Russell) as the new United States ambassador to the United Kingdom. As she defuses an international crisis and forges new alliances, she has to adjust to her new position in the spotlight while also putting focus on her broken marriage with fellow diplomat Hal Wyler (Rufus Sewell). Season 2 is expected to see Kate look into an attack on London while also investigating a prior attack on a British aircraft carrier off the coast of Iran, which appears to be an inside job orchestrated by the British government.

The Diplomat Is a Global Hit for Netflix

The series has turned into a true international hit for Netflix, being featured in the streamer’s global top 10s for four weeks with 173.46 million hours watched. On the Nielsen top 10 charts, The Diplomat placed for two weeks in the rankings with a total of 44.9 million hours watched by the public. In addition to solid viewership, the series has also picked up good reviews, registering an 83 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics giving Russell’s performance as Kate Wyler much of the praise.

For her work on the series, Russell was acknowledged with several nominations for her performance, including a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series, a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Actress – Television Series Drama, and a Critics Choice Television Awards nomination for Best Actress in a Drama Series. The show itself has also earned a Writers Guild of America nomination for Drama Series and New Series, while it also received a Producers Guild of America Award nomination for Best Episodic Drama.
