What to expect from The Diplomat Season 2?
The show is known for its suspenseful and politically charged plotlines, so fans can expect more intrigue, twists, and turns in the upcoming season. In the season 1 finale, Kate was struggling to convince the French minister to clear the way of British Special forces to arrest Roman Lenkov, a dangerous Russian mercenary.
It was speculated that the Iranian government had ordered the bombing of the UK’s aircraft carrier HMS Courageus and the attack was carried out by Lenkov.
However, the twist came when it was revealed that the attack orders were given by the Prime Minister Nicol Trowbridge who wanted a reason to target Russia and make UK-Russo relations worse.
The series ends when Kate and Dennison disovers Trowbridge’s blueprints to assassinate Lenkov while, the fate of Hal and Stuart remains uncertain after the explosion of MP Merritt Grove’s car. This left the room for a potential season 2 that will tell the after story.
What do you think will happen in The Diplomate season 2? Do you think Hal and Stuart will come out alive from the blast?
