‘The Americans’ Could End After Fifth or Sixth Season, Says EP

The pressure is building in The Americans.

When the FX spy drama starring Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys returns for a fourth season on March 16, it will largely focus on the threat of bioweapons and the Jenning’s big secret getting out. Executive producer Joel Fields, on hand at the Television Critics Association winter press tour to promote the series, suggested that he and creator Joe Weisberg are about two-thirds of the way through the story they want to tell.

Fields acknowledged on stage that he isn’t sure how long the series will run. “What we do know is that if you were to think of it as a three act story structure, it feels like we’re coming toward the end of the second act. Whether it takes a fifth season or a sixth or fifth season to tell the rest of that story, we’ll discover as we start to dig into next season’s work,” he said, adding later in the panel: “I really don’t have an answer about how many seasons except that we’ll do what’s right for the storytelling and we always seem to surprise ourselves.” Continue reading ‘The Americans’ Could End After Fifth or Sixth Season, Says EP

Baby on the Way for Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell

Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell have received their latest mission: parenthood!

The Americans actress is pregnant with her third child, a source confirms to PEOPLE.

“They’re thrilled,” a friend of the couple tells PEOPLE.

Already mom to daughter Willa Lou, 3, and son River, 7½, this will be Russell’s first child with her Americans costar.

After months of relationship rumors — and several sightings of the two together — PEOPLE confirmed in April 2014 that Russell and Rhys, 41, were an item.

The former Felicity star, 39, has been honest about the hardships that come with balancing a family along with a successful career.

“I like working hard, but my life outside of my career is equally important to me,” she told PARADE. “Maybe I’m not ambitious enough, but I’m just as interested in my friends and my relationship with my family.”

But becoming a mother has changed Russell for the better. “You instantly become less selfish. You can’t be the biggest person in the world anymore — they are. It really grounds you,” she said.
