Netflix just dropped 'The Diplomat' season 3 teaser trailer — and it feels like a 'West Wing' reunion
Netflix has just treated us to a fresh look at "The Diplomat" season 3, and we've now got a rough idea of when we can expect the show to air. The minute-long teaser primarily hinges on unveiling one thing about the show. Or, rather, one person: Bradley Whitford (another "The West Wing" alumnus), who has joined "The Diplomat" cast as Grace Penn's (fellow "West Wing" star, Allison Janney) husband, Todd Penn. Other than showing Todd's part of the proceedings, it's light on details. This new teaser is otherwise a combination of a tense score, scenes of police escorts, fancy attire and then a quick montage from the forthcoming season (running, a swimming pool chat, and lots of looks into the distance, apparently). Then, it wraps up with a glimpse at a pow-wow between the Wylers and the Penns. And, judging by the glance that Kate flashes in response to Todd's "How was everyone's day at the office?", it's going to be an awkward and/or dramatic conversation. Excited? Well, "The Diplomat" season 3 already has a release window, and it's not a million years away. You can look forward to a reunion with Kate this fall, and we'll be keeping an eye out for a precise release date. This part of the article contains light spoilers for "The Diplomat" season 3. "The Diplomat" season 3 teaser trailer might not give much away, but Netflix has shared some story details for the forthcoming season over on Tudum. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. "When we pick up for Season 3 of "The Diplomat," the synopsis reads, "Kate has just accused Vice President Grace Penn (Allison Janney) of hatching a terrorist plot and admitted she's after the VP's job. But now the president is dead, Kate's husband Hal (Rufus Sewell) may have inadvertently killed him, and Grace Penn is the leader of the free world. "None of this slows Hal's campaign to land Kate the vice presidency. Kate steps into a role she never wanted, with a freedom she never expected, an increasingly complicated friendship with Foreign Secretary Austin Dennison (David Gyasi), and an unnerving bond with First Gentleman Todd Penn (Whitford)." In addition to the above names, "The Diplomat" season 3 cast list also includes Ali Ahn as CIA Station Chief Eidra Park, Ato Essandoh as Deputy Chief of Mission, Stuart Hayford, and Rory Kinnear as British Prime Minister Nicol Trowbridge.

2nd shooting at Abilene hookah lounge leaves residents, nearby businesses concerned
ABILENE, Texas () – A hookah lounge located on the 700 block of North 6th Street experienced a second shooting incident in less than a year. Victim shot at Abilene hookah lounge The 6th Street Center is a historic property built in the early 1900s and is recognized as the first African American hotel in Abilene. Located in the 700 block of North 6th Street, this property is now home to several businesses, with the second floor previously serving as an event center. Most recently, the second floor has been rented out to serve as a hookah lounge and local hangout. On Saturday, May 31, at around 2:00 a.m., an incident occurred at that hookah lounge when one patron shot another. This type of incident isn't new for this location, as back in October of 2024, when a man who was in a crowd allegedly tried to push his way inside the establishment, and a security guard who was hired by the hookah lounge was accused of fatally shooting the individual. Concerns over this gathering spot have been voiced as recently as the May 8 Abilene City Council meeting, where notable Abilene figure Reverend Andrew Penns addressed the council about issues he and those who live in the area are experiencing. 'I come with a concern about a club that has opened in the Carver neighborhood. Anytime from about 2 to 3:00 in the morning, I'm being woken up by music from that club. Not only myself, but others in the neighborhood have voiced concern,' Penns said to the council. Security guard arrested on murder charge in connection to death of Abilene man Businesses in the area are also expressing concerns following the incident at the historic building. President Shawnte Fleming-Lewis of the non-profit Let Us Breath-Abilene, which is located right next to where the shooting occurred, spoke about what she and other business owners are now facing. 'It was always a privilege for me to be here. The residents are all complaining about here, and eventually, this is going to turn into something bigger that is going to be out of control,' Fleming-Lewis shared. 'We're just looking to try to contain, try to figure out what the best plan is. We just have to do a better job about protecting Abilene.' The property owner for the 6th Street Center, who wishes to remain unidentified, spoke about how he traditionally rents the space for events and was leasing the property to a 3rd party when the incident occurred. They say that after this incident, they are looking to cooperate fully with city authorities for the next step in securing safety on this property. 'I'm going to take the recommendations from the police department and the city. We're going to comply fully with whatever the city says. The violence… It's got to stop.' As of now, neither the individual who was shot nor the shooter has been identified. The injured party was transported to the hospital, where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries, and the suspect in this incident has not yet been arrested. An investigation is currently underway, and police are asking anyone with information on the incident or the possible shooter to come forward and contact Abilene Crime Stoppers at (325) 676-8477.
