Although only six episodes remain in “The Americans” Season 2, the future for the Jennings family has been assured.
FX has officially renewed “The Americans” for a third season of 13 episodes that are slated to run in early 2015. Created by Joe Weisberg, “The Americans” takes place in the early ‘80s at the height of the Cold War while following Philip (Matthew Rhys) and Elizabeth Jennings (Keri Russell), a seemingly ordinary married couple with kids who are secretly Russian spies in the heart of Washington D.C.. Noah Emmerich co-stars as Stan Beeman, an FBI Agent befriended by the Jennings who is caught up in his own espionage drama with his treacherous Russian informant, Nina (Annet Mahendru).
In a brief statement, FX President of Programming Eric Schrier said “The Americans continues be one of the best shows on television. Executive Producers Joe Weisberg, Joel Fields and Graham Yost have done a wonderful job delivering two seasons, and the performances from Keri Russell, Matthew Rhys and Noah Emmerich are stellar. Fans will be blown away by the rest of this season, and we can’t wait to see what they come up with next year.”
The second season of “The Americans” will conclude on Wednesday, May 21.
