Apple TV+ has revealed the first teaser-trailer for “Presumed Innocent” starring Jake Gyllenhaal, from Emmy-winning creator David E. Kelley.
Gyllenhaal narrates the trailer as Rusty Sabich, a man seemingly consumed by his love for a woman named Carolyn (Renate Reinsve). “She woke something up inside me,” he says as the footage cuts between his time with her and images of cars and courtrooms and arguments — clearly invoking a darker twist in this alleged romance. Carolyn, it turns out, has been murdered and, given their history, Rusty is the prime suspect.
What the trailer leaves out is extra juicy: Rusty and Carolyn were coworkers and prosecutors, and the suspected crime sends waves through the Chicago Prosecuting Attorney’s office as they mourn a colleague, reel from an affair, and pursue a murder investigation — to say nothing of how it affects Rusty’s marriage and home life.
The rest of the cast includes Ruth Negga,...

The Diplomat is a sharp-witted drama about American Ambassador Kate Wyler (Keri Russell), who is in London trying to diffuse a tense international situation while navigating her rocky marriage to an ambitious career politician.

The saying “90 percent of directing is casting” has been attributed to everyone from John Ford to Robert Altman to Martin Scorsese, but in the case of Netflix’s much-buzzed-about romantic political drama “The Diplomat,” you might even be able to crank that number to 95, especially as casting director Julie Schubert tells it, getting your first-choice leads is the ultimate Hail Mary pass.
“Keri Russell was on the very first list,” says Schubert, who can barely contain her enthusiasm for the versatile actress. “She is truly one of the nicest human beings you will ever meet in your entire life. And one of the hardest working people you will ever meet in your entire life. She’s top to bottom: pure joy.”
As written, Ambassador Kate Wyler checks a lot of boxes for Russell’s abilities, but for the role of Kate’s roguish, charismatic, upward climbing husband-with-benefits Hal, there’s...

Without giving away any spoilers, it’s safe to say that The Diplomat‘s first season has left ample room for a second season. Thankfully, Netflix has officially greenlit season two of the political drama.
“I am thrilled to be headed back for another round of this smart screwball show. Dare I say it’s fun? Thank you, Netflix, for giving us another shot,” said series star and executive producer Keri Russell.
Season one’s cast also includes Rufus Sewell, David Gyasi, Ali Ahn, Rory Kinnear, and Ato Essandoh. Celia Imrie, Michael McKean, Nana Mensah, T’Nia Miller, and Miguel Sandoval guest star.
Debora Cahn created the series and serves as showrunner and executive producer. Additional executive producers include Janice Williams and Simon Cellan Jones (for episodes one and two).
“We had such a great time making The Diplomat. And it’s a thrill to see how much people are enjoying it.

Plot: Kate Wyler is the new US Ambassador to the United Kingdom. She was supposed to go to Afghanistan. She’s great in a crisis zone. In a historic home… less so. War is brewing on one continent and boiling over on another. Kate will have to diffuse international crises, forge strategic alliances in London, and adjust to her new place in the spotlight — all while trying to survive her marriage to fellow career diplomat and political star Hal Wyler.
Review: Political series come in two distinct flavors. One is heavily action-oriented, with thrills rooted in espionage and chase sequences like The Night Agent. The other is the intricate palace intrigue housed within the halls of political machinations like House of Cards. Now and then, a third version comes into play that is not reliant on menace or action but manages to be engaging and aspirational, like in NBC’s acclaimed The West Wing.

Finding a good show on Netflix can sometimes feel like a fishing expedition.
The sheer volume of content can make it difficult for something to stand out and command attention.
The Diplomat rises above the fray as an intelligent drama with a warm and witty feel and doesn't take its foot off the accelerator from the opening credits through the season's finale episode.
It's no surprise because creator and showrunner Debora Cahn is no stranger to political dramas.
Like The West Wing and Homeland before it, The Diplomat focuses on a particular government entity and dramatically brings it to life for viewers with its relatable characters and topical direction.

The sheer volume of content can make it difficult for something to stand out and command attention.
The Diplomat rises above the fray as an intelligent drama with a warm and witty feel and doesn't take its foot off the accelerator from the opening credits through the season's finale episode.
It's no surprise because creator and showrunner Debora Cahn is no stranger to political dramas.
Like The West Wing and Homeland before it, The Diplomat focuses on a particular government entity and dramatically brings it to life for viewers with its relatable characters and topical direction.

A surprising thing has happened over the last few weeks: The Night Agent became one of the 10 most-watched Netflix series of all time. This isn’t a knock on the spy-thriller, which features the usual solid craftsmanship of The Shield creator Shawn Ryan, a brisk pace, and some likable lead performances. But it’s also a show without big stars (even if supporting player Hong Chau is a recent Oscar nominee) or an attention-getting premise designed to spread word of mouth. It’s just… a well-made example of a very familiar TV genre,...

Netflix has released the first trailer for The Diplomat, a new political drama premiering on April 20, 2023. The trailer introduces Keri Russell as a recently appointed ambassador who’s called in to stop a conflict in the Persian Gulf. However, the battle at home appears just as likely to explode into a full-blown war.
Series creator, showrunner, and executive producer Debora Cahn says the series is about transcendence and long-term relationships.
“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,” stated Cahn in a feature on Netflix’s Tudum. 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. In the world of diplomacy, you’re dealing with a lot of rule-bound, protocol-driven behavior,...

"If the house is on fire, you gotta tell me!" Netflix has revealed an official trailer for a series arriving later this month titled The Diplomat, a new political drama series starring Keri Russell. In the midst of an international crisis and a dangerous war in another country, Kate Wyler lands in a high-profile job for which she was not suited for, with tectonic implications for her marriage and her political future. Wyler is the new US Ambassador to the United Kingdom. She was supposed to go to Afghanistan. From showrunner Debora Cahn, The Diplomat is a high-stakes, contemporary political drama about the transcendence and torture of long-term relationships, between countries and people. Also starring Rufus Sewell, David Gyasi, Ali Ahn, Rory Kinnear, and Ato Essandoh; guests including Celia Imrie, Michael McKean, Nana Mensah, and T’Nia Miller.

Keri Russell is back as an American on foreign soil.
The “Americans” alum leads Netflix political drama “The Diplomat” as Kate Wyler, the new U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom. From showrunner Debora Cahn, “The Diplomat” is a high-stakes, contemporary political drama about the transcendence and torture of long-term relationships — between countries and people.
Per the official synopsis, Kate was supposed to go to Afghanistan. She’s great in a crisis zone. In a historic home…less so. War is brewing on one continent and boiling over on another. Kate will have to diffuse international crises, forge strategic alliances in London, and adjust to her new place in the spotlight — all while trying to survive her marriage to fellow career diplomat and political star Hal Wyler (Rufus Sewell).
David Gyasi, Ali Ahn, Rory Kinnear, and Ato Essandoh also star, with Celia Imrie, Michael McKean, Nana Mensah, T’Nia Miller, and Miguel Sandoval guest-starring.

Nearly five years after “The Americans” concluded, Keri Russell is back with a brand new TV series. Russell stars as Kate Wyler in the Netflix thriller “The Diplomat,” the first trailer for which shows Wyler being tasked with stopping a war before it starts in her new position as U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom. Watch it at the top of the page now.
If the pressure to diffuse international crises amid global threats and forge strategic alliances in London wasn’t enough, there’s another twist: Kate must stand her ground in the new spotlight as she attempts to escape the looming shadow of her husband and well-respected diplomat Hal Wyler (Rufus Sewell).
As Kate learns to assert her dominance amid her husband’s storied career, telling her new advisors her tenure will be an “adjustment,” Kate and Hal differ on their approach to the emerging politician’s new position.

The trials of a Ghanaian-American woman and her family never overpower the deft emotional savviness of this low-budget tale
This indie comedy from actor-turned-director Nana Mensah has been sweetly described as a love letter to immigrant daughters. Her story – about a second-generation Ghanaian-American woman, the obligations she feels to her family, and their expectations – feels familiar, but never “Hollywood-ified”. Mensah stars herself, uses her real-life parents’ Christian bookshop in the Bronx as a location, and casts her aunt in a supporting role. It’s all impressively pulled off on what looks like a budget of Blu Tack and sticky tape.
Mensah is Sarah, a lecturer and PhD student in the neuro-oncology department at Columbia University. When her mum dies suddenly, Sarah takes the subway back to the Bronx. She’s an only child and her dad (Oberon K A Adjepong) – long separated but not divorced from her mum – flies back from Accra.
This indie comedy from actor-turned-director Nana Mensah has been sweetly described as a love letter to immigrant daughters. Her story – about a second-generation Ghanaian-American woman, the obligations she feels to her family, and their expectations – feels familiar, but never “Hollywood-ified”. Mensah stars herself, uses her real-life parents’ Christian bookshop in the Bronx as a location, and casts her aunt in a supporting role. It’s all impressively pulled off on what looks like a budget of Blu Tack and sticky tape.

Magnolia Pictures International has acquired worldwide rights, including U.S. sales rights, to “Neon Spring” by writer-director Matīss Kaža (“One Ticket Please”).
The film will have its world premiere at the Edinburgh International Film Festival on Aug. 15.
Set to strobe lights and a techno soundtrack, “Neon Spring” chronicles two months in the life of Laine, a college girl from a middle-class suburb in Latvia. As Laine’s father distances himself from his crumbling marriage and his family, Laine is unable to cope with the separation and discovers the edgy Riga party scene, where she falls in love with seasoned raver Gunda. Going from rave to rave, the girls journey into a drug-fueled underworld of anarchy, freedom and exploration.
Inspired by actual experiences of the filmmaker, the film is “an honest and authentic story that explores the complexity of young relationships and sexual discoveries, loneliness and escapism, without being didactic or preachy,...

It was hard not to feel a pang of frustration while scanning through the supporting and guest acting categories for this year’s Emmy nominations. As has become an increasingly alarming trend, they saw fit to reward actors from a precious few series while leaving so many fantastic other possibilities in the dust. With so many of television’s very best performances unfolding in supporting roles, and at a time when there’s more TV than ever, it remains a curious shame how few shows tend to dominate the Emmys come nomination morning.
Just like last year, “Succession” and “Ted Lasso” made their presences known. As my colleague Adam B. Vary calculated out of sheer nerdy curiosity (his words), “Ted Lasso” cast members comprise a quarter of the total comedy acting nominees, while a full 35(!) of the drama nominees belong to “Succession.” Between “Ted Lasso” and “Hacks” alone, in fact,...

"You don't have to be your mother. You get to define you, mama." Film Movement has debuted an official trailer for an indie dramedy titled Queen of Glory, featuring actress Nana Mensah who writes, directs, and stars in this film. It first premiered at the 2021 Tribeca Film Festival last year, and also played at tons of other fests including Melbourne, Reykjavik, Vancouver, Hamptons, London, Warsaw, and San Diego. Queen of Glory is a "tightly-conceived, witty and compassionate love letter to the Bronx" that's at once a view into a tight-knit community, and an intensely relatable drama-comedy for anyone with a family. It looks quite good and especially authentic. Ghanaian-American Sarah is set to abandon her Ivy League doctoral program to follow her married lover across the country, until she must take over running a small Christian bookstore in the Bronx. Nana Mensah stars with Meeko Gattuso, Russell G. Jones, Oberon K.A. Adjepong,...

After cleaning up at the 2021 Emmys with wins for Best Drama Series (“The Crown”), Best Limited Series (“The Queen’s Gambit”) and Best TV Movie (“Dolly Parton’s Christmas on the Square”), Netflix is now looking to finally conquer the Best Comedy Series category, and “The Chair” represents one of its best chances at doing so. Set at a fictional New England university, the show boasts a diverse ensemble of seasoned performers, four of whom – Bob Balaban, Jay Duplass, Nana Mensah and Sandra Oh – recently joined showrunner/executive producer/writer Amanda Peet for a virtual 2022 Emmys FYC panel moderated by actor and author David Duchovny. Watch the video Q&a above.
Oh, who serves as an executive producer in addition to playing lead character Ji-Yoon Kim, was quick to cite Peet’s casting process during a discussion of what makes the show work as an accurate depiction of the world of academia.
