Emmerich briefly appeared in Season 1 of “The Walking Dead” as CDC doctor Edwin Jenner. Holden, on the other hand, appeared for three seasons of the zombie apocalypse TV series as Andrea Harrison. She turned dark at the hands of The Governor before getting back into her senses again but she was bitten by a walker and she turned. Rick eventually killed her.
The appearance of Emmerich and Holden together in “The Americans” Season 5 will be a reunion of sort for the two actors in one TV series after a span of six years.
Showrunners Joseph Weisberg and Joel Fields have said during a recent interview that the upcoming fifth season of “The Americans” shall present interesting story arcs for several characters of the TV series.
They also confirmed that Season 5 shall set the stage for the conclusion of “The Americans” which has already been reported to end after Season 6.
The co-executive producers were also quoted as saying in the same interview that they can hardly believe that “The Americans” is already heading into its final stretch, adding that they are so grateful to know that they shall be able to tell the story to its conclusion.
Weisberg and Fields added that a lot of people have put their hearts and souls into “The Americans” for a good number of years so they are both looking forward to the final two.
