About HOMELAND, Season 8
Starring Emmy, Screen Actors Guild® and Golden Globe winner Claire Danes, and Emmy and Tony® winner Mandy Patinkin, the acclaimed series is currently in production on its final 12 episodes. Season 8 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.
Along with Danes and Patinkin, the final season stars Maury Sterling, Linus Roache, and Costa Ronin, with Nimrat Kaur and Numan Acar also returning from Season 4 in series regular roles.
