What’s This TV Show About?
An FX espionage drama, The Americans stars Keri Russell, Matthew Rhys, Holly Taylor, Keidrich Sellati, Noah Emmerich, Lev Gorn, Costa Ronin, and Brandon J. Dirden. The story centers on Soviet secret agents Elizabeth (Russell) and Philip Jennings (Rhys), who entered into their KGB-arranged marriage for the sake of the job, but somewhere along the way, fell in love. As season six kicks off, their neighbor, FBI Agent Stan Beeman (Emmerich), still has not discovered their true identities, yet he and his former partner, Agent Dennis Aderholt (Dirden), remain their biggest threat. With Reagan in the Oval Office and Gorbachev in power in the Soviet Union, the times, they are a-changing. Meanwhile, Oleg Burov (Ronin) is back in action, and Philip and Elizabeth could end up on opposite sides.

On May 25, 2016, The Americans was renewed for a sixth and final season, so there won’t be a seventh season. The show ended May 30, 2018. Is there a revival or a sequel series in the offing? Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
There’s no need for you to spend your time wondering whether FX will cancel or renew The Americans for season seven. We’ve known for a couple of years that this would be both the sixth and final season. I’m still keeping an eye on the Nielsen ratings, because it helps me assess the cancellation or renewal chances for other shows, and gives me an idea of whether a spin-off or sequel is feasible.

Would love The Americans to continue. 8 years after the show takes place the Berlin Wall falls. Stan & the kids could visit Russia. And see Philip & Elizabeth- wouldn’t that be something!
