They explained that they can’t believe that they are already heading into the final stretch of “The Americans” and they are grateful to know that they would be telling the story to its conclusion.
They added that a lot of people have put their hearts and souls into “The Americans” so they are all looking forward to maintaining the same enthusiasm and zest for the final two seasons.
Season 5 of “The Americans” shall reportedly have a time jump from the Season 4 finale and it would likely reveal what the Jennings have been up to, on whether they have decided to stay in America or go back to Russia as their spy covers were about to be blown.
Back in Season 4, the FBI was able to capture the Jennings’ asset William, played by Dylan Baker, but he did not squeal on Philip and Elizabeth Jennings despite being under duress.
The showrunners also revealed during the Television Critics Association summer press tour that Season 5 of “The Americans” shall focus also on the storyline of ex-FBI secretary Martha, played by Alison Wright.
It would somehow be discovered in the upcoming season that Martha is still not dead and the show shall be focusing on what she has been up to and why she has gone missing in action.
