Margo Martindale will return to The Americans
Although Frank Langella has stepped in capably as Philip and Elizabeth’s new-but-also-former KGB handler on The Americans in season three, TVLine reports that Margo Martindale is coming back as their original handler Claudia. Martindale appeared in a recurring role the first two seasons, but was never a regular due to her contract with the recently canceled The Millers. Now, with no pesky full-time gig in her way, she’ll go back to doing what she does best—scowling and generally making life heart-wrenchingly unpleasant for her Russian spy comrades—as the frosty Claudia.
