Keri Russell shares a pitch for a reboot of Felicity, giving an encouraging response to revisiting her memorable role. Russell is doing a press tour, preparing for the return of the Netflix political drama The Diplomat, which makes her comeback to the small screen after her run on the acclaimed spy thriller The Americans. But for many, Russell is still best remembered for her breakout lead role in Felicity. Created by the duo of Matt Reeves and J.J. Abrams, the college drama ran from 1998 to 2002 on The WB.
