The Americans Season 3 premiere date? FX and the production team are just in the early period of their shoot but it is sure to thrill you once it returns, especially with the new storyline and characters coming around. Parenting and handling the family get harder for couple Philip (Matthew Rhys) and Elizabeth Jennings (Keri Russell). Next season, things won't be easy for them. Aside from balancing their spy life and their lives as parents, Elizabeth will be forced to deal with alcohol addiction. But of course, it will be just for a cover as her new task involves getting classified information from a recovering alcoholic.
Deadline revealed a The Americans Season 3 spoiler involving a new cast and new mission for Russell's Elizabeth Jennings. It wrote:
"Karen Pittman (Begin Again) has been tapped for a recurring role on the third season of FX's Cold War drama The Americans. She will play Lisa, a struggling mother and recovering alcoholic who works on the assembly line of a highly classified Defense Department project and just became the Alcoholic Anonymous sponsor of newly sober Michele."
And since Pittman's character is no ordinary American, she will be targeted by the KGB with the help of Elizabeth.
"But what Lisa doesn't know is that Michele is actually an alias being used by covert KGB spy Elizabeth Jennings (Keri Russell), who wants information on Lisa's classified project - and their fast friendship is belied by Elizabeth's ulterior motives. Talentworks-repped Pittman is on Broadway in the Pulitzer Prize-winning drama Disgraced."
Once the Americans Season 3 premiere date is confirmed by FX, you will have more reason to feel excited. Before this Americans Season 3 spoiler from Deadline, the Hollywood Reporter announced that veteran actor Frank Langellas has also joined the FX TV series for a recurring role. The Box actor will play the role of Gabriel, a Russian agent who used to work with Philip and Elizabeth and comes out of retirement to again mentor the couple after their previous handler, Claudia (Margo Martindale) was stripped off of that job.
