The Americans
Cold War Spy Series Certain to Get the Pulses Racing
Inspired by the FBI's shock arrests in 2010 of multiple KGB sleeper agents living in the U.S., this gripping period drama is set in Washington, D.C. in the final years of the Cold War. Seamlessly jumping between genres, The Americans is a suspenseful espionage thriller one moment, a portrait of a complex marriage the next. Starring Golden® Globe Award-winning actress, Keri Russell (Felicity), and Welsh actor, Matthew Rhys (Brothers & Sisters), the critically acclaimed series is certain to draw audiences with its impressive range, tender moments and ass-kicking action.
Kicking off shortly after Ronald Reagan is elected President, the series is centered on Philip (Matthew Rhys) and Elizabeth (Keri Russell) Jennings, a seemingly typical American couple living in suburbia but they're actually lethal KGB agents plotting to bring down America. As the Cold War escalates, Philip and Elizabeth must take extreme measures to continue their mission and keep their true identities hidden. But when an FBI agent moves in across the street, they become ensnared in a pulse-pounding game of cat and mouse.
