While the new Homeland season 8 trailer is brief – more of a teaser – it alludes to where proceedings may go in the final run.
Here’s what looks to be an official synopsis:
The final season of HOMELAND finds Carrie Mathison (Danes) recovering from months of brutal confinement in a Russian gulag. Her body is healing, but her memory remains fractured – which is a problem for Saul (Patinkin), now National Security Advisor to the newly ascendant President Warner (Emmy and Golden Globe winner Beau Bridges). The top priority of Warner’s young administration is an end to the “forever war” in Afghanistan, and Saul has been dispatched to engage the Taliban in peace negotiations. But Kabul teems with warlords and mercenaries, zealots and spies – and Saul needs the relationships and expertise that only his protégé can provide. Against medical advice, Saul asks Carrie to walk with him into the lion’s den – one last time.
Homeland has been a huge success over the years. The first season was broadcast back in 2011 and since then has gone on to win several awards, including Emmys and Golden Globes.
No word on when this will roll out on international channels – it will air on Showtime in its domestic territory from 9th February 2020 – but we’ll obviously keep you posted as we learn any news.
