New Netflix thriller series The Diplomat will be arriving on the streamer later this month and we now have our first look at stars Keri Russell and Rufus Sewell in action.

In the newly released trailer, we see plenty of intrigue, explosions and marital bickering, as well as some of Russell and Sewell's co-stars including Rory Kinnear, David Gyasi, Ali Ahn and Ato Essandoh.
