Synopsis: American ambassador Kate Wyler lands her dream role under tragic circumstances. As Grace Penn (Allison Janney) becomes President of the United States, Kate must contend with her husband Hal's ambitions, a complex friendship with British minister Austin Dennison (David Gyasi) and a troubling relationship with leading gentleman Todd Penn (Bradley Whitford). Between diplomatic crises and intimate intrigues, diplomacy has never seemed so perilous.
In the new season, Kate Wyler finds herself in a paradoxical situation: she gets the role she covets, but under dramatic circumstances. After accusing Vice President Grace Penn (Allison Janney) of being behind a terrorist plot, Kate is faced with an unexpected upheaval: the sudden death of the American president. Her husband, Hal Wyler (Rufus Sewell), is suspected of involvement. Grace Penn becomes president, while Hal lobbies for Kate to become vice-president. Between political intrigue, fragile alliances and complex personal relationships, Kate navigates a diplomatic landscape more dangerous than ever.

David Gyasi reprises his role as Austin Dennison, while Ali Ahn, Rory Kinnear and Ato Essandoh complete the cast. Executive production is handled by Debora Cahn, Janice Williams, Alex Graves and Keri Russell herself.
