The Diplomat Season 2 is fast approaching, and fans are eager to answer the questions left by the show's finale. After Kate Wyler, played by Keri Russell, discovers the British Prime Minister's involvement in the explosion of the pilot episode, she will have to gather evidence against her.
The final moments of the first season leave its audience with a second explosion with Hal Wyler's (Kate's husband) life on the line. One of the most important questions for this season is the fate of the people involved in that explosion.
Like his wife Kate, Hal is also an experienced US diplomat and former ambassador to Lebanon. After he accused the Secretary of State of being a war criminal, his career with the US administration was put on hold.
The Diplomat Season 1 also showed his crumbling marriage to Kate, which could take any turn in the upcoming season.

Did Hal Wyler survive the explosion at the end of season 1? His storyline explored for season 2
Season 1 ended on a very suspenseful note with a second explosion, which put Kate's co-workers and Hal on the line.
While it was not shown whether the people made it out alive, it is now confirmed that Hal Wyler is alive in season 2. This is how the actor announced his return via Instagram.
The trailer for the show also has snippets of Hal attending glitzy parties with his wife Kate, hand in hand, which further confirms his being alive in the second season. A recent article via Netflix's Tudum confirms that Hal will be an ''ally'' to Kate while she gathers proof against the British Prime Minister.
While the couple was shown in argument consistently in the first season, with Kate almost deciding to divorce Hal, it will be interesting to see if their marriage will mend in the upcoming season.
The Diplomat Season 2 premieres on Netflix on October 31.
