The Diplomat Season 3 soundtrack guide: A complete list of the music in the Netflix thriller's latest chapter

The Diplomat Season 3, Netflix's Emmy-nominated and critically-acclaimed political thriller series, returned on October 16. All eight episodes of the show are available to binge-watch on the platform now.

Season 3 of The Diplomat marks the return of Keri Russell as Kate Wyler, who learned about the US VP Grace Penn's contribution in the HMS Courageous explosion. After Kate's husband Hal initiated a risky move for damage control and relayed this information to the US President Bill Rayburn, it led to a domino effect with Rayburn's death from a heart attack and Grace's promotion as the next President.

The Diplomat Season 3 features the returning ensemble cast of Russell, Rufus Sewell as Hal Wyler, Ali Ahn as Eidra Park, Rory Kinnear as Nicol Trowbridge, Allison Janney as Grace Penn and Bradley Whitford as Todd Penn.

Like the previous two seasons, the latest installment of the political series features an impressive and original background score. Brazilian pianist and music composer Marcelo Zarvos is credited with composing an original soundtrack for Season 3, which was digitally released by Netflix Music on October 16 on all major music platforms.
