Available from April 20th on Netflix, La Diplomate is a breathtaking new thriller not to be missed. Created by Deborah Kane, who cut her teeth as a screenwriter on Inside the White House, Grey’s Anatomy and Homeland, this drama series tells the story of how a diplomat finds herself in a high-profile position she’s not cut out for, right in the middle. international crisis and which affects his relationship and his political future.
This diplomat, named Kate Wyler, is played by actress Keri Russell, best known for her role as a KGB agent on The Americans, which earned her several Golden Globe nominations and which we recently saw in the movie. Crazy bear.
Female ambassadors are rare
Even if the diplomat is fiction, it’s surprising that an international crisis agent and diplomatic expert turned ambassador like Kate Wyler. Typically, US ambassadors are wealthy people who have helped fund the incumbent’s campaign, and they tend to be men.
However, currently, it is a woman who is the United States Ambassador to the United Kingdom. Her name is Jane D. Hartley and he is the official representative of the President of the United States and the American government to the monarch and government of the United Kingdom.
This position is considered one of the most prestigious positions in the United States Foreign Service because of the “special relationship” between the United States and the United Kingdom. However, this has not prevented recent American presidents from appointing fundraisers rather than seasoned politicians to this position.
So Kate Wyler, played by Keri Russell, does not exist in real life, and her story is highly fictional, if not nearly impossible. But that didn’t stop the showrunner from the Netflix series, Deborah KahnApproaching reality based on past experiences in writing roomsto the white house But first of allHomeland.

They go to every war zone, every crisis zone that is about to enter a war zone. The Foreign Service is the first and last disaster of any kind in the world, and no one knows who they are and what they do.”
Deborah Kahn was also eager to talk about the couple working together. because according to him “There are a lot of ‘tandem couples’ in the foreign service. They meet at work, they’re passionate about what they do, about each other, and so they decide to spend their lives together. It’s romantic and exciting and intense. But. Ten, fifteen years later, you’re in a situation where When the person you love the most is also the person you’re constantly competing with.”
