Two of Showtime‘s biggest exports have received domestic street dates.
The sixth season of Homeland will hit Showtime on January 15th with the show picking up several months after the events of season five, which took place in Berlin. Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes) is back on American soil, living in Brooklyn, New York, where she has begun working at a foundation whose efforts are to provide aid to Muslims living in the U.S. Season six will tackle the after effects of the U.S. presidential election, with the entire season taking place between election day and the inauguration.
Oscar winner and Emmy nominee F. Murray Abraham and Emmy and Tony Award winner Mandy Patinkin will also return for the new season. Deadline also revel that Homeland has officially been renewed through until season 8 – so that’s at least three more season of the hit series.
Meanwhile, Billions, which stars Homeland alumni Damian Lewis and Academy Award nominated actor Paul Giamatti, will return to U.S. screens on February 19th. The show, which revolves the face-off btween U.S. Attorney Chuck Rhoades (Giamatti) and billionaire hedge fund king Bobby “Axe” Axelrod (Lewis), will also return to Sky Atlantic in the UK next spring.
Billions is created, written and executive produced by showrunners Brian Koppelman and David Levien.
