From Cold to Hot

For six seasons on The Americans, Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell — as Russian spies deep undercover in Reagan-era D.C. — kept the Cold War hot. Besides raising two kids, managing a business and running dark ops, they rode the currents of a complex relationship.

In real life, the actors found their own spark, became a couple and are raising a two-year-old son. Their FX drama, which wrapped May 30, is available on FX Plus, Amazon Prime and iTunes, so viewers don’t have to say goodbye, just do svidaniya.
