FX announced today that has ordered a 13-episode fourth season of The Americans, which will have its premiere in 2016.
The Season Three finale of The Americans will air on Wednesday, April 22 at 10/9c on FX.
Following the official announcement, Nick Grad, FX's co-president of original programming, said: "Remarkably, this season of The Americans has achieved even greater acclaim than that of its first two seasons. The series has cemented it status with critics as television's best current drama and arguably the best show on TV, and we couldn't agree more. That universal critical praise is a tribute to the talents of Joe, Joel, Keri, Matthew, Noah and the entire cast and crew. We look forward to the final four episodes of season three, and beyond, in Philip and Elizabeth Jennings' riveting journey."
The Americans was honored by the American Film Institute (AFI) as one of the TV Programs of the Year in 2014 for its first season and again in 2015 for its second season. The series has also received three Primetime Emmy Award nominations over the course of its first two seasons.
The Americans is a period drama about the complex marriage of two KGB spies posing as Americans in suburban Washington D.C. shortly after Ronald Reagan is elected President. The arranged marriage of Philip (Matthew Rhys) and Elizabeth Jennings (Keri Russell) grows more passionate and genuine by the day, but is constantly tested by the escalation of the Cold War and the intimate, dangerous and darkly funny relationships they must maintain with a network of spies and informants under their control. Their neighbor, FBI Agent Stan Beeman (Noah Emmerich), has become a renewed threat since he has rededicated himself to the mission of uncovering the identities of the Russian spies living among Americans. Tensions are also running high within the Jennings' home as Philip and Elizabeth find themselves increasingly at odds over their daughter's future now that the KGB has made it clear that they want Paige to join the family business. Joe Weisberg is creator and Executive Producer, alongside Joel Fields, Graham Yost and Daniel Sackheim. Amblin/DreamWorks Television heads Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank are also Executive Producers. The Americans is produced by Fox 21 Television Studios and FX Productions.
