Felicity fans, rejoice! FX has unveiled a first look at its upcoming spy drama The Americans — and it’s filled with all the Keri Russell goodness you could hope for.

The pair, whose bond will grow more passionate and genuine each day, will be tested by both the escalation of the Cold War and the presence of a neighbor (Noah Emmerich), who happens to be an FBI agent.
