The Ambassador is a half-hour workplace comedy set at a scrappy Canadian diplomatic embassy in Bulgaria, deep in Eastern Europe. Olivia Winters (Samantha Bee), a former actor turned savvy yet unorthodox diplomat, and her childhood best friend Andrea Taylor (Allana Harkin), a sharp, policy-driven Chargé d'Affaires, are sent to the hinterland of global diplomacy to uncover new business opportunities for Canada in a rapidly shifting world. Tasked with doing more with less, and operating far from the polished centers of power, Olivia and Andrea rely on bold instincts, chaotic brilliance, and uniquely Canadian workarounds to punch far above their weight. Under constant scrutiny from Ottawa, the duo turns diplomatic afterthoughts into surprising wins, even while skating on very thin ice.
From showrunner Tim McAuliffe (The Office, Last Man on Earth, Son of a Critch), who serves as executive producer alongside Teza Lawrence and Michael Souther.
