Cold war-set spy drama "The Americans", currently in its fourth season, has been renewed by FX for two final seasons.
The show, starring Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys, will have a 13-episode fifth season that will air in 2017, followed by a 10-episode sixth and final season next year, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
FX Productions, meanwhile, has signed creators Joe Weisberg and Joel Fields to develop their next series. The pair have signed overall deals with FX Productions to develop new projects for the network.
The critically-acclaimed drama revolves around two KGB spies posing as a married American couple during the Cold War.
The show premiered in 2013. The ratings of the show have not been as big as other shows but it has drawn praise for being one of the best dramas on American television right now.
