'The Americans' season 2 teaser trailers [WATCH]: Keri Russell & Matthew Rhys play Russian Roulette in promos for 2014 FX episodes

FX's original series The Americans was one of 2013's runaway hits in terms of critical acclaim as well as ratings. The exciting spy drama taking place in the 1980's during the height of the Cold War focuses on two KGB spies living in the United States. There is much more to this story than just that (as viewers found out in season one) so the anticipation for season two is brimming with a February premiere date approaching. This week we were treated to two nerve-wracking teaser trailers for the upcoming 2014 episodes.

In this first teaser, we see stars Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell hiding in a closet, pursuing an unknown target. Things escalate pretty quickly as the tension rises:

This second clip is a bit longer and involves Russian roulette. Clearly this is symbolism for the characters' risky line of work, but it definitely gets the point across:

What do you think these teasers mean for the upcoming season of The Americans?

Here is another hint revealed earlier this year by showrunners Joe Weisberg and Joel Fields.

"We haven't gotten that far into thinking about the second season yet in a really concrete way, but one thought we have is we want to get a little deeper into the family, and the child relationships."

Though we're seeing the Jennings duo in these promos, one of the show's most interesting characters, Stan (Noah Emmerich), might be getting a backstory episode this season.

"This season we did write a whole episodic story that explored that part of Stan's past. Then we decided that it wasn't right to do it in the first season. We got through that process learning a lot about what we believe is that backstory and what drives him. I'm sure we'll get to it."
