FX'S 'THE AMERICANS' SEASON FIVE PREMIERE

The Americans is a period drama about the complex marriage of two KGB spies posing as Americans in suburban Washington D.C. during the Reagan administration. The arranged marriage of Phillip (Matthew Rhys) and Elizabeth Jennings (Keri Russell) grows more passionate and genuine by the day, but as pressures and demands of the job grow heavier, the personal toll becomes almost too exhausting to bear. Having revealed their true identities to their teenage daughter Paige (Holly Taylor), Phillip and Elizabeth's ability to protect their cover and their family's safety has become more tenuous.

The Americans was created by Joe Weisberg who, along with Joel Fields, serves as an Executive Producer and Writer. Graham Yost and Chris Long and Stephen Schiff are also Executive Producers, along with Amblin Television heads Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank and Joshua Brand is Consulting Producer. The Americans is produced by Fox 21 Television Studios and FX Productions.

'THE AMERICANS' Season five premieres Tuesday, 7 March at 10pm Eastern/Pacific on FX.
