The acclaimed FX drama’s swan song picks up three years after the events of last May’s finale, with the eldest Jennings child having “changed a lot” in that time, star Holly Taylor tells TVLine. Paige is now “in college, making a few friends, and is more sure of herself. She’s still curious and intelligent, but now she has more confidence.”
That newfound self-assurance is reflected in her appearance, which features “a haircut and boyfriend-style wardrobe,” the actress describes. “She wears light makeup, too. I think all of that shows how comfortable she is with herself, not feeling the need to impress anyone.”
Paige has also embraced the family spy business, which means working side-by-side with her mom Elizabeth. “Both of them really enjoy getting to spend such quality time together, but at the same time, it is work,” Taylor says. “Elizabeth is strict with Paige because she wants to protect her. And Paige is still young and wants her space, too. So although it can get complicated, at the heart of it, they’re just like any amicable mother-daughter duo.” Who also occasionally wear disguises.
The Americans‘ final season is slated to premiere on a yet-to-be-announced date next year on FX.
