| Following the publication of Weisberg's novel, executive producer Graham Yost found that the author had also written a pilot for a prospective spy series. Weisberg was captivated by the stories he'd heard from agents who had worked as spies overseas while raising their families. He wanted to transfer that notion to television, with the idea of a spy family rather than just one guy.[([[https://books.google.pl/books?id=uM1CDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA1922&lpg=PA1922&dq=After+reading+Weisberg%E2%80%99s+novel,+executive+producer+Graham+Yost+discovered+that+Weisberg+had+also+written+a+pilot+for+a+possible+spy+series+Weisberg+was+fascinated+by+stories+he+had+heard+from+agents+who+served+abroad+as+spies,+while+raising+their+families+He+was+interested+in+bringing+that+concept+to+television,+with+the+idea+of+a+family+of+spies,+rather+than+just+one+person&source=bl&ots=MP3RZbE36U&sig=ACfU3U1AxLZiNeOvIuMNDAkRlJL1r8x-Xg&hl=pl&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwis8L66j775AhXfnP0HHXQUAvcQ6AF6BAgCEAM#v=onepage&q=After%20reading%20Weisberg%E2%80%99s%20novel%2C%20executive%20producer%20Graham%20Yost%20discovered%20that%20Weisberg%20had%20also%20written%20a%20pilot%20for%20a%20possible%20spy%20series%20Weisberg%20was%20fascinated%20by%20stories%20he%20had%20heard%20from%20agents%20who%20served%20abroad%20as%20spies%2C%20while%20raising%20their%20families%20He%20was%20interested%20in%20bringing%20that%20concept%20to%20television%2C%20with%20the%20idea%20of%20a%20family%20of%20spies%2C%20rather%20than%20just%20one%20person&f=false|Google Books]])] | Following the publication of Weisberg's novel, executive producer Graham Yost found that the author had also written a pilot for a prospective spy series.

| | ===== Weisberg And Agents ===== |
| | |
| | Weisberg was captivated by the stories he had heard from agents who had worked as spies overseas while raising their families. He wanted to transfer that notion to television, with the idea of a spy family rather than just one guy. Yost read the pilot and thought it was "annoyingly excellent", so he decided to develop the program.[([[https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Pilot_(The_Americans)|wikiwand]])] |

| | ===== Working At CIA ===== |
| | |
| | Weisberg claims that the CIA unwittingly inspired him to create a spy series. The work at the CIA, which Weisberg subsequently acknowledged as a mistake, aided him in developing various scenarios for the series. Some narrative lines are based on true-life stories, and he incorporates strategies and procedures he acquired throughout his training.[([[https://www.timesofisrael.com/ex-cia-agent-and-creator-of-the-americans-says-us-and-russia-arent-that-different/|timesofisrael]])] |
