The FX network has yet to make an announcement regarding the exact release date of the fifth season of the American espionage drama TV series “The Americans” but the rumors seem fairly consistent in pointing out that it could happen most likely in the spring of next year.
In terms of plotline, there are also plenty of speculations being propagated online. Interestingly, the latest round of rumors about the possible storyline of “The Americans” Season 5 is that Elizabeth Jennings, played by Keri Russell, may be the first of the Jennings couple to defect to the United States.
It can be recalled that during the Season 4 finale of “The Americans,” Elizabeth and husband Philip, played by Matthew Rhys, were nearly got caught as Russian spies in the US.
Given the near-miss and their precarious situation, the rumors are saying that Elizabeth may finally see through the cracks in their work as spies and may have to do something to save herself and the rest of her family.
Filming for Season 5 of “The Americans” has already started in October in Brooklyn, New York so it is really possible that the show could make its return to FX in the spring of next year, details the Parent Herald.
Coming to a boil
Another interesting disclosure with regards to “The Americans” Season 5 plotline was recently made by executive producers Joel Fields and Joseph Weisberg.
The two showrunners hinted that the recruitment of Paige Jennings, played by Holly Taylor, to the KGB will come to a boil in Season 5 of the TV series.
According to latest speculations, the Center could violate their handling of Paige’s recruitment which will then have Elizabeth finally seeing what is wrong with the system that she has also believed all her life.
FX has previously announced that “The Americans” has been renewed for two more seasons including a sixth and final season that will end in 2018. The showrunners said that they have no doubt that the two-season order for “The Americans” will tell the story to its perfect conclusion.
Veteran actors as guest stars
The fifth season of “Homeland” is set to debut next year on FX but the network has yet to come out with an official announcement or statement with regards to its exact airing date.
However, what seems confirm at this point is that two veteran TV actors in Brett Tucker and Laurie Holden shall be joining the show as new cast members to keep the excitement going for the already very scintillating spy drama.
Accordingly, Tucker, shall take on the role of Ben Stobert who is a charming, intelligent, and passionate scientist whose work goes deeper than it seems.
Holden, on the other hand, shall be cast as Renee, a new woman in town who shall capture the interest of Stan Beerman, played by Noah Emmerich, when they meet at the gym, reports Spoiler TV.
They will hit it off from there as Renee also likes to indulge in various guy activities including fly fishing, watching sports, and drinking beer.
Stan Beerman shall apparently get a love life in Season 5 of “The Americans” and it is reportedly going to be Renee.
Both Emmerich and Holden happen to be alums of “The Walking Dead.” The reunion of the two former “The Walking Dead” characters will happen towards the latter part of Season 5 as Renee is reportedly a recurring role.
Stan will reportedly be amazed of Renee and he will regard her as the woman of her dreams. However, what Stan does not know is that she may have hidden secrets and is merely out to use Stan for her own schemes.
The last time that both Noah Emmerich and Laurie Holden were in the same TV series together was during the first season of “The Walking Dead.”
