FX is gearing up for an exciting new year with a new show being added to its winter 2013 lineup. The network is scheduled to air an hour-long drama called "The Americans," featuring Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell as a KGB spy couple living in the United States.
Phillip Jennings (Rhys) and his wife Elizabeth (Russell) have two children and live in suburbia pretending to be your average 1980s American family. The couple's children have no idea that their parents are spies, and conveniently for them neither do their neighbors.
Little is known about the show's plot, but Buzzfeed's Kate Aurthur does provide this teaser: "With Ronald Reagan newly in the White House and the Cold War escalating to what we as viewers know will be its conclusion, Elizabeth's and Phillip's lives are about to change."
The show, which is set to air January 30, was created by Joe Weisberg, a former CIA officer who also wrote the spy novel 'An Ordinary Spy.' Weisberg's past TV series writing endeavors include sci-fi thriller 'Falling Skies' and crime drama 'Damages.'
'The Americans' will air on Wednesday, January 30 on FX.
