Claire Danes has been working hard directing the upcoming drama miniseries Fleishman Is In Trouble starring Jesse Eisenberg and Lizzy Caplan.

But on Thursday, the actress took some time off and headed out for a leisurely stroll with her husband Hugh Dancy.

They walked the busy streets of Manhattan, chatting and laughing, and finally made their way to a restaurant.

Danes, 43, opted for casualness and comfort in the fashion department, dressed in colorful drawstring trousers which she paired with a white long sleeve shirt and brown sandals.

Matching her laid-back vibe, the Homeland star pulled her short blonde locks off her face with a white scarf.

With a two-tone gray bag slung over her shoulder, the longtime leading lady appeared to have a serious conversation with her husband at one point.

Two years after completing her hit series Homeland, Danes returned to television in 2022 with two new series.

The actress began filming the drama Fleishman Is In Trouble back in February. The nine-episode limited series, created by author Taffy Brodesser-Akner, follows Toby Fleishman (Jesse Eisenberg), a doctor and recently divorced man who delves into the mysterious world of online dating.

While he finds himself achieving far more success than he imagined, his life is turned upside down when his Claires character Rachel disappears, leaving him with the kids.

Toby must balance his parenting responsibilities with a new promotion at the hospital where he works and all the eligible women Manhattan has to offer, while also discovering what happened to Rachel and her failed marriage.

Danes also returned to television earlier in the year in the gothic romance drama miniseries The Essex Serpent.

She plays London widow Cora Seaborne, a woman who moves to Essex to investigate reports of a mythical snake. Eventually, Vora forms a surprising bond of science and skepticism with the local pastor (Tom Hiddleston), but when tragedy strikes, the locals blame her for attracting the creature.
