As The Americans is gearing up for its sixth and final season, star Keri Russell thinks the timing is just right.
She told The Hollywood Reporter, "It's always nice to be able to be given the option to go out on a high note instead of at year 15 when they're running out of storylines. It will be sad to see it go but the time is right."
Always a critical darling, the FX drama didn't break into the Emmys until last year. Then it received its first series nomination and nods for stars Russell and Matthew Rhys. The series didn't crack the outstanding drama category this year. But the co-stars still landed nominations in their respective acting categories.
Ahead of the Sept. ceremony, THR chatted with Russell about the end of Philip and Elizabeth's journey, the show's eerie parallels to modern-day U.S.-Russia relations and the projects she wants to tackle next.
