The new season of The Diplomat is now streaming on Netflix, diving deeper into the high-stakes world of international diplomacy. Season 3 focuses on crises ranging from regional conflicts to global summits, exploring the complex interplay between national interest, multilateral negotiation, and public perception. Key episodes highlight emergency negotiations over trade disputes, cyber diplomacy in response to security breaches, and behind-the-scenes coordination at NATO and UN meetings.
The show also portrays the subtle art of protocol and trust-building: from arranging state dinners and ceremonial events to managing relationships with embassies and international delegations elements that echo real challenges faced by diplomats worldwide. Storylines touch on contemporary issues such as nuclear deterrence, economic sanctions, and climate diplomacy, making the series particularly resonant for Berlin’s diplomatic community.
