'The Americans' gets to end on its own terms with two-season final renewal

The Americans showrunners, Joel Fields and Joe Weisberg, have been saying for a while that their FX spy drama — one of the very best shows on television — has maybe one or two more seasons' worth of story left to tell. When I spoke with them earlier this year, in fact, they said they were starting to break the final arcs of the show, however long it took to let them play out.

Well, now we have our answer, as FX has renewed the show for two more seasons — a traditional 13-episode season next year, and a 10-episode one for 2018 — the latter of which will bring the story, and The Americans, to its conclusion.

"It's hard to believe we're heading into the final stretch on The Americans," Fields and Weisberg said in a statement announcing the renewal, "and we’re so grateful to know we’ll be telling the story to its conclusion."

The series has always drawn modest ratings, and never turned into the kind of awards magnet it should be (3 of the show's 5 Emmy nominations — and its lone win — have gone to Margo Martindale for her recurring role as KGB handler Claudia), and in its early days, there seemed to be danger that the story wouldn't get to play out to its conclusion. But FX boss John Landgraf has been very vocal for several years now that he wanted to let Fields and Weisberg wrap up the show on their own terms, whether that took five years or six. Whether that slightly shorter sixth season is a budgetary concession for a show that was never a huge hit, or the creative team realizing they don't exactly have two full seasons worth of plot left, the show won't leave its viewers hanging.

Really good to hear . I thought they might only get one more season, but a slightly shortened 6th season is great as well. It really would be a shame if the show itself never gets a best drama Emmy nom or if Phil/Liz never got an acting nom.

I sure hope this show ends with at least one of Phil and Liz either getting caught/apprehended or killed.

I was a little upset when the pastor's wife told Paige for her to her family she was sorry after the pastor was found
bytch couldn't come apologize in person after the threats she made

If anything it kind of showed her pride and hypocrisy. I mean doesn't The Bible teach forgiveness?

When it comes down to it, she's just another person out here bending the code they're supposed to live by, for their own benefit

Lay it Down Liz showing Paige how she handles herself
Paige ain't about that life

 

[Dillah810]

Lay it Down Liz gave dude a chance to leave with his life, and a lil bit of money, but dude made the wrong choice....

 

[Ciggavelli]

Ruin a family and don't even get level 4 clearance, brehs

Paige now knows her Mom's a trained killer

Should be interesting final episodes. How's Liz gonna explain that?

Paige is gonna freak out.

 

[Czerka]

First teach Paige to fight, then Liz can teach her the other part the job requires

 

[Cheesy]

Damn I thought they would just blackmail yong hi's husband but they really gave no fukks and emotionally crushed dude for a chance at those codes
Liz showed Paige how to lay it down, she better start training for when she has to walk those streets alone

 

[TheNatureBoy]

Lay it Down Liz gave dude a chance to leave with his life, and a lil bit of money, but dude made the wrong choice....

Mother Russia didn't raise no victim Not the first time that Paige needed to be saved from sketchy dudes, can't forget about the work that Hit em up Henry put in when they got a ride home from the stranger a couple seasons back . Let's just hope this time Paige learned her lesson and doesn't go to Pastor Tim about what happened .

Pastor Tim on learning that Stan is an FBI agent

Liz: We can't choose our neighbors

Pastor Tim: Can't you?

Phil and Gabriel's acting job as the brother and father
