The Diplomat is created and executive produced by Homeland, The West Wing and Grey's Anatomy writer and producer
"The Diplomat is a show about the transcendence and torture of long-term relationships," Cahn said in a statement. "It's hard to keep a relationship going, be it a marriage or a military alliance. We change, the world changes, and yet we want these relationships to go on forever."
"It's a show about a bunch of good people doing their best to keep their global and personal partnerships intact without killing each other," she added. "In the world of diplomacy, you're dealing with a lot of rule-bound, protocol-driven behavior, but underneath all that, these are people who sweat, and spill coffee on their clothes, and forget the name of the person they're talking to. All of that is always bubbling under the grandeur and majesty of working with heads of state."
The Diplomat premieres
Russell is known for starring on Felicity and The Americans, and most recently appeared in the film Cocaine Bear.
