Whitford, Janney Star in The Diplomat Season 3

Production has begun for Season 3 of 'The Diplomat,' featuring a notable reunion of 'The West Wing' stars Allison Janney and Bradley Whitford. Janney reprises her role as President Grace Penn, while Whitford joins as her husband, Todd Penn, in a casting choice praised as 'perfect' by executive producer Janice Williams. The season picks up after a dramatic Season 2 finale where Grace becomes President following the death of President Rayburn, who was shocked by her involvement in a British submarine attack. This development poses challenges for Kate Wyler (Keri Russell), a U.K. ambassador who was a contender for Vice President. The series, created by Debora Cahn, aims to deliver more political intrigue and character dynamics in the upcoming episodes. First-look images have been released, showcasing the reunion and hinting at the evolving relationships among the characters.
