Summary
- Bradley Whitford joins the cast of "The Diplomat" as Allison Janney's on-screen husband

In a highly anticipated move, actor Bradley Whitford has joined the cast of the political drama series "The Diplomat" as Todd Penn, the husband of Allison Janney's character Grace Penn, the new President. This reunion of the two actors, who previously starred together in the acclaimed series "The West Wing," is sure to captivate audiences.
Whitford, who was approached about the role last summer while shooting in Budapest, expressed his excitement about the opportunity to work with Janney again, calling it an "exquisite privilege." The new season of "The Diplomat" will pick up directly after the cliffhanger of the previous season, which saw the death of President Rayburn, leaving Grace Penn as the leader of the free world.
With Kate, played by Keri Russell, now in a precarious position after accusing Grace of a terrorist plot, and Hal, Kate's husband, potentially responsible for the President's death, the stage is set for a thrilling new chapter in the series. Viewers can expect to see the complex dynamics between the characters, as well as the challenges Grace Penn faces as the new President.
