The Diplomat: The Official Podcast

This week, we are turning it over to our sister podcast, Skip Intro. Hosted by Krista Smith, Skip Intro is an award-winning weekly show that brings you dynamic conversations with the exceptional people behind your favorite shows, films, specials, and documentaries on Netflix.

Keri Russell joins the show to talk about the second season of The Diplomat. Russell explores the dynamic between her character Kate and her husband Hal (Rufus Sewell) by explaining why their relationship is the show's glue. She also shares why Kate was nervous to meet Allison Janney (who joins the cast as Vice President Grace Penn) and recounts the cast's reaction to learning about the season's bombshell ending during a table read.

She also reflects on how being a middle child affected her temperament, jokes about her daughter's reaction to watching Felicity for the first time, and explains why there is nothing better than riding her bike home from set during the early hours of the morning.

Skip Intro is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. You can also listen to more from Netflix Podcasts on Tudum.com.
