The Diplomat Season 2 Trailer Tees Up Arrival of Allison Janney’s Veep — Get Release Date

The official Season 2 logline released Thursday in conjunction with the first teaser trailer confirms that both Hal and Stuart survive the car bomb.

In what could be a harbinger of the hell that awaits Keri Russell’s titular emissary in the wake of that hair-raising Season 1 finale, The Diplomat Season 2 will drop on Halloween (aka Oct. 31).

Meanwhile, a car explosion seemingly took the lives of Kate’s husband Hal (Rufus Sewell) and deputy chief of mission Stuart Hayford (Ato Essandoh).
