West Wing's Season 3 decision to team up Allison Janney and Bradley Whitford initially prompted Diplomat creator's apprehension, yet I'm pleased to report that any such concerns were promptly alleviated.

The third season of the critically acclaimed political drama "The Diplomat" is set to make a splash, as it introduces a new character played by none other than Bradley Whitford. Whitford, best known for his role as Josh Lyman in the beloved series "The West Wing," will be joining forces with Allison Janney, who plays US Vice President Grace Penn in the show.

Initially, some reservations were expressed by Debora Cahn, the show's creator, about the potential West Wing reunion. However, the showrunner is confident that Whitford and Janney can bring their characters to life in a way that will captivate both old and new fans.

Whitford will be playing Todd Penn, the husband of Janney's character Grace Penn. Todd is set to be introduced in Season 3, and fans have already noted a similarity between Whitford's character and Josh Lyman from "The West Wing."

Keri Russell leads the cast of "The Diplomat," which is available to stream on Netflix. For fans of "The West Wing" who have an HBO Max subscription, they can revisit the past of C.J. and Josh.

The expansion of Allison Janney's role in Season 3 will add a new layer to her character, as viewers will get to see Grace Penn interact with her husband. This development is sure to be a highlight of the upcoming season.

Despite the presence of familiar faces, "The Diplomat" does not feel like a carbon copy of "The West Wing." Instead, it offers a fresh take on the political drama genre, with its own unique storylines and characters.

So, get ready for an exciting new season of "The Diplomat" on Netflix, as Bradley Whitford and Allison Janney team up to deliver an unforgettable performance.
