‘The Americans’ season 2 teaser: ‘Danger’ coming and Keri Russell says Elizabeth is ‘hard-core’
The FX drama The Americans returns for a second season and a new teaser titled “Danger” previews the changes for the Soviet spies during the Cold War.
Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell may well have their identities exposed and their children put at risk and the Dawn of the Planet of the Apes actress details that further during her interview with Vulture.
“This season is all about their family,” says Russell. “Last year was about [Elizabeth and Philip’s] marriage. But they are a unified front now, and they’ll be dealing with the things everyday parents do.” Plus the usual espionage stuff: “Getting shot at the end of last season has shaken Elizabeth on a massive level. She’s not exactly cutting it as a spy. But does it shake her feeling about the cause? I think she’s still pretty into it. Elizabeth is hard-core.”
Season 1 stars Annet Mahendru (Nina), Alison Wright (Martha) and Susan Misner (Sandra Beeman) have been upped to series regulars, while Margo Martindale will return as Claudia for several episodes, despite her commitment to CBS comedy The Millers.
The Americans returns on FX February 26, 2014.
