FX has announced the Season 2 premiere date for what many consider to have been the Best New Show of 2013.

The Americans will return with new episodes on Wednesday, February 26 at 10 PM ET/PT.

Anchored by Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys, this intense drama centers around KGB spies who pose as a married couple in the United States.

It received the most Television Critics Association Awards nominations of any show this year and also earned four Critics’ Choice Television Award nomination in 2013.

Last January's series premiere stands as FX's most-watched debut of all-time, with 5.1 million viewers tuning in.

It's a terrific series and we encourage readers to watch The Americans online now in order to catch up prior to Season 2.
