The Diplomat Season 4: Windsor on Screen, Burghley House Behind the Scenes

Season 4 of The Diplomat, released on 15 October 2026 on Netflix, opens at Windsor Castle. But the royal residence did not host the filming: it is Burghley House that lends its features to the screen.

Released on 15 October 2026, the eight episodes of Season 4 of The Diplomat (La Diplomate) open in a place that needs no introduction: Windsor Castle. The first episode is even titled after it. For Netflix’s political drama starring Keri Russell, the oldest inhabited royal fortress becomes the stage for a major diplomatic crisis. One detail, however: no cameras entered the real Windsor.

Une forteresse devenue palais

Derrière la porte George IV, les appartements d'apparat remaniés au fil des règnes accueillent toujours visites et banquets d'État. C'est cette atmosphère de pouvoir que The Diplomat convoque, sans y avoir tourné.
