FX has ordered The Americans to series.
The show, which is set during the Cold War, follows the arranged marriage of two KGB spies (played by Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell) as they pose as an American couple in suburban Washington, DC.
"We're proud to welcome The Americans, a taught series that crackles with incredible performances rooted in character perspectives never explored on a US television series, to FX's line up of quality dramas," FX general manager John Landgraf said in a statement.
Noah Emmerich also stars in the series, playing an FBI agent who moves into the same neighbourhood and threatens the spies' covers.
In July, Russell joined the supernatural thriller Dark Skies, written and directed by Scott Stewart.
The Americans is slated to begin production in October.
