The Diplomat
Updated November 2, 2026
No alliance lasts forever.
The Diplomat streams in the US on one subscription service — Netflix — and nowhere else right now: no free stream, and no rent-or-buy option. Here is what that means for watching it.
Amid an international crisis, a newly appointed US ambassador to the UK navigates high-stakes diplomacy, rapid political developments, and a difficult marriage to a powerful former diplomat. Her demanding assignment tests her instincts, relationships, and ability to manage competing pressures while world events continue to escalate.
