The Diplomat S4: From a Parking Lot to Windsor, Stunning Sets

The fourth season of The Diplomat turned a simple parking lot into the façade of a warship. The set also includes the G7 summit in Italy, a hospital ward aboard the same ship, and Windsor Castle. Curt Beech, set designer since season three, highlighted the professionalism of the crew, citing references like The West Wing. He explained to What’s on Netflix that each set was the result of solid expertise. In Italy, the location manager, Elisabetta Tomasso, uncovered a 16th-century villa near Lucca after an exhaustive search, avoiding Florence so as not to inconvenience tourists.
