Two US series have received good news today with The Americans and House of Lies both being renewed for more.

The Americans has been renewed for a fourth season of 13 episodes by FX.

“Remarkably, this season of The Americans has achieved even greater acclaim than that of its first two seasons,” FX original programming president Nick Grad said. “The series has cemented it status with critics as television’s best current drama and arguably the best show on TV, and we couldn’t agree more.”

Season three begins on SoHo on April 15th.

Meanwhile House of Lies, which is also critically acclaimed in the US, has been renewed for a fifth season.

“When you have a gifted acting ensemble led by Don Cheadle and smart, acerbic writing led by showrunner Matthew Carnahan, you expect something special, and House of Lies delivers for us each season,” Showtime executive vice president of original programming Gary Levine said.

Season Five will have 10 episodes, 2 less than Season 4.

Australia is lagging on this series, having recently screened season 2 on Pay TV and Free to Air.

Josh Lawson also features in the cast.

    1. There are a few good scenes in House of Lies. But most of it is just corporate jargon, drinking, swearing, bodily functions and sex to excess solely to be offensive.

      Critics have said the American’s S3 is better than S2, which I found lacked any real suspense. Threats to kill of the main characters, and leave no show, quickly become meaningless. But it hasn’t helped ratings, they have halved to 0.9m, down from 1.8m for S1 (after the pilot which did huge).

  1. It should be put that channel ten’s Eleven channel had first run rights. Foxtel’s FX Channel has rights to show after Eleven. It only happened that season 2 was shown on FX first after 2 years after US showtime channel and Eleven didn’t show it as yet. I hope if Eleven doesn’t show season 3 soon that it should get to show closer than the 2 year wait for FX and for Season 4 and 5.
