Netflix’s political thriller The Diplomat, starring Keri Russell as U.S. Ambassador Kate Wyler, has kept audiences hooked with its intense drama, jaw-dropping cliffhangers, and sharp political intrigue. After the explosive Season 2 finale, fans are eagerly awaiting news about The Diplomat Season 3. One burning question is whether the show will return in June 2025. Here’s everything we know so far.
Is The Diplomat Season 3 Releasing in June 2025?
As of now, Netflix has not confirmed an exact release date for The Diplomat Season 3, but the show is slated to premiere in fall 2025. While June 2025 falls within the first half of the year, multiple reports indicate that the release is more likely to occur between September and November 2025, aligning with Netflix’s “fall” window.
The Diplomat Season 3 Renewal and Production Updates
Netflix renewed The Diplomat for Season 3 in October 2024, before Season 2 even premiered, showing strong confidence in the series. Production began in June 2024, with filming taking place in London and New York City, and wrapped in mid-to-late March 2025, earlier than the initially planned March 20 date. This dual-location shoot reflects the show’s commitment to capturing the global scope of diplomatic affairs.
The early renewal and back-to-back filming with Season 2 (to avoid delays like those caused by the 2023 strikes) suggest Netflix is prioritizing a quicker turnaround. Executive producer Janice Williams noted that the show is “almost finished filming” as of early 2025, with most work now in the editing room, further supporting a fall 2025 release.
Additionally, Netflix announced a Season 4 renewal in May 2025, ahead of Season 3’s premiere, ensuring that Kate Wyler’s story will continue beyond the upcoming season.
