The conversation has been edited for clarity and length.TheWrap: You’ve delved into the world of politics and foreign policy before in “The Americans,” was there anything that was completely new to you?Russell: The details of this entire army of people and what they do for our government was new to me. We know so little about what [State Department officials and diplomats] do, and yet they are so monumental in keeping democracy alive, and our government working correctly.
I did a ton of reading about it; there’s this amazing book called “The Ambassadors” by Paul Richter. It’s about a certain type of ambassador, who is a little bit more like the character I play.
They tend to work in the Middle East, or they’re promoting peace in the world, or setting up voting rights somewhere or establishing democracy in an area that hasn’t had that; versus the diplomats who are usually given [the role] as a gift for a healthy donation to a presidential campaign, and they live in Paris for a couple of years or something. There’s so much to do with the hierarchy of it all.Kate is pulled in opposite directions when she has to abandon her post for what is widely understood as a ceremonial position. How do you understand her conflicting emotions?When we meet Kate, she’s going to set up the mission in Afghanistan, which, especially right now, is such a volatile, ever-changing place, and I think she’s earned an amount of respect there and has her self-esteem there.
That’s where her passion is and she feels like she’s doing good work there. When you’re asked by the President of the United States to leave this thing that you love very much and that you feel is really important — to move to London to essentially give tea parties or go to fancy

Keri Russell’s ‘The Diplomat’ Is Not the Second Coming of ‘The Americans’: TV Review
Emily Tannenbaum Fans of FX’s popular Cold War drama “The Americans” will undoubtedly check out “The Diplomat” in the hopes that Keri Russell’s next political thriller can fill the heart-pumping void the hit series left behind in 2018. They shouldn’t — at least, not for that reason. Though “The Americans” and “The Diplomat” share a star, as well as a similar focus on marital power struggles, the new series from “Homeland” executive producer Debora Cahn is less gritty spy thriller and more soapy workplace drama. Throughout the show’s eight, hour-long episodes, I found myself thinking of “The Diplomat” as a Shondaland-inspired take on “The West Wing,” which makes sense considering Cahn cut her teeth as a writer on both “Grey’s Anatomy” and Aaron Sorkin’s NBC series.
