"Season 3 flips the chessboard. In Season 3, Kate lives the particular nightmare that is getting what you want."
The Diplomat season 3 will likely start off from the ending of season 2, with a race for the Vice President post. Following the unexpected death of the president and Grace Penn's rise to power, Kate is likely to be assigned the job of filling the vacant Vice President position.
