FX has made its choice to portray a seemingly All-American woman of the '80s by casting "the it girl" of the '90s.

TV Line is reporting that Keri Russell has signed on to "The Americans," one of the most intriguing drama pilots currently on the docket for FX. Created and executive produced by Joe Weisberg ("Falling Skies") and Graham Yost ("Justified"), "The Americans" follows Russell's character, Elizabeth and her husband, Phillip, whose suburban life in Washington D.C. is merely a cover for their work for the KGB during the heart of the Cold War.

While the couple is outwardly loyal to Russia, their fake marriage is becoming increasingly real and Phillip is becoming more enamored with America's way of life than perhaps he should be. To complicate things further, the couple's children have no idea that their parents are spies.

Russell is best known for her iconic role as the lead character on "Felicity" during the heyday of The WB. More recently, Russell co-starred in the Fox sitcom, "Running Wilde;" which ran for only one season.

Gavin O’Connor ("Warrior") is directing the pilot episode of "The Americans" and it is expected to go into production later this year.

凱麗·拉塞爾(Keri Russell)將扮演臥底特工，其實她不是第一次飾演特工題材了，《碟中諜3》她就是阿湯哥的隊員之一。只是這一次她效忠的不再是美利堅合眾國，這位曾出演熱門美劇《幸?！返呐輪T將在FX新劇《美國人》中扮演一個蘇聯(lián)克格勃間諜。

這部背景設(shè)在80年代的劇集預(yù)計在12月播出，故事講述了一對被組織安排的夫妻Phillip和Elizabeth（Russell飾演）與兩個不知道自己父母真實身份的孩子一起生活。他們的關(guān)系隨著時間的推進越來越親密和真誠，但是冷戰(zhàn)的升級和間諜組織對他們保持的關(guān)注和監(jiān)視也在考驗著他們之間的情感。更復(fù)雜的是Phillip越來越適應(yīng)美國的生活和思維方式。

曾創(chuàng)作供職于CIA的喬·韋斯伯格(Joe Weisberg)將出任劇集的執(zhí)行制片人，同時負責(zé)這一職務(wù)的還有《火線警探》的劇集運營人格雷厄姆·約斯特(Graham Yost)、夢工廠電視部聯(lián)合主席賈斯汀·佛薇(Justin Falvey)和達里爾·弗蘭科(Darryl Frank)，劇集將由Fox電視工作室和FX制作部共同打造。

Keri Russell成名正是通過小熒幕的WB劇集《幸福》，她在之前還回歸出演過喜劇《富貴與愛情》。當(dāng)然離開電視圈的日子里她在大銀幕頗有建樹，除開篇提到的《碟3》，她還參演過中國觀眾非常熟悉的《八月迷情》和口碑不俗的《女招待》。而這個新劇開發(fā)季中《幸福》里的兩位搭檔斯考特·佛雷(Scott Foley)和斯科特·斯比德曼(Scott Speedman)也都參與到了新劇集的拍攝中，分別是FOX的《Goodwin Games》和ABC的《破釜沉舟》。
