Article with pictures from next season, some of which is revealing. Plus the first "official" trailer, whatever that means.
The one confirmation I really like in those pictures is that the guy Philip is meeting in disguise on the bench is Oleg. (Also yes, Henry's at boarding school and playing hockey there--though from the trailer you'd think they still just have the one child.)
With a split in the KGB it seems really intriguing to me to have the Jennings' contacts being Claudia and Oleg. Claudia's a badass, but she also seems to keep her mindset very much in WWII. Like Elizabeth, she doesn't see a problem with anything the Centre does, and last year said that she spent some time in Russia but didn't seem to like it because she couldn't relate to her modern non-spy Russia daughter and grandchildren.
Oleg, otoh, is the character most grounded in the practical realities of modern-day Moscow and he's very much a modern Russian, besides, of course, being someone willing to defy the Centre for what he thinks is the greater good of the country. I've always been annoyed at people sometimes casually acting like Elizabeth and Paige are "the Russian ones" (despite one of them not even being Russian at all) and I really would like to see the strength in the more thoughtful Russians in ways we often didn't in the past. Characters like Oleg (and Philip, really) have been taking a lot of stuff in for several seasons and have a broader perspective.
