'The Americans' Season 3 Spoilers: Will Keri Russell, Matthew Rhys Discover Margo Martindale's "Return?" [WATCH]
Season 3 of The Americans continues with a new casting addition on FX. With Paige (Holly Taylor)'s life onthe line, will Elizabeth (Keri Russell) and Philip (Matthew Rhys) Jennings need help from the person they least want, their former handler, Claudia (Margo Martindale)?
As we previously mentioned, the KGB spies Elizabeth (Russell) and Philip (Rhys) are having a moral crisis with their latest orders. In the second season finale, Elizabeth and Philip discovered from Claudia (Martindale) that the Center are thinking of recruiting their daughter, Paige (Holly Taylor).
In an interview with Hitflix, Russell reveals what was going through Elizabeth's heads, "My immediate instinct was like, 'I feel like I'm turning my daughter out.' And they're like, "No, no, no, you would never assume that she would be a spy. You guys are one in a million. It would be that she would just be a part of the cause. Like, in an office job or a very low-level type of thing. And it would be years and years and years and years down the road." It's just that you would have to get people ready for it."
In our recent recap, Philip discovered Elizabeth was meeting with their new handler, Gabriel (Frank Langella) without him. Gabriel believes Paige has a choice, but Philip doesn't think his daughter is ready and shouldn't be recruited. With the two in disagreement, Philip stormed out the room as Gabriel sat quietly in his chair.
TV Line reports that the Justified actress will be reprising her role as the ex-KGB supervisor and executive producers Joe Weisberg and Joel Fields couldn't be happier, "We couldn't be more thrilled and grateful for Margo's return as Claudia in the third season. It was an immense joy to have her in our first two seasons, so to work with her again is a wonderful stroke of good fortune. And all we had to do was ask nicely! And promise no one would punch her in the face again!"
