Steve Carell to star in FX limited series The Patient from The Americans team

Variety

The Patient, consisting of 10 half-hour episodes, is from The Americans writers/executive producers Joe Weisberg and Joel Fields. According to Variety, The Patient is "described as a psychological thriller about psychotherapist Alexander Strauss (Carell), who finds himself held prisoner by a serial killer with an unusual request: curb his homicidal urges. But unwinding the mind of this man while also dealing with the waves of his own repressed troubles creates a journey perhaps as treacherous as his captivity." Carell will also serve as executive producer.
