Synopsis of Homeland

Carrie Mathison is a CIA operations officer who, after carrying out an unauthorized operation in Iraq, is transferred to the Counterterrorism Center at Langley, Virginia. There, she receives a tip from a source that an American prisoner of war has joined the terrorist network Al-Qaeda. Carrie suspects it is Nicholas Brody, a Marine sergeant listed as missing since 2003 and recently rescued from a compound controlled by the terrorist Abu Nazir. The agent's work grows complicated when her boss, the center's director David Estes, calls her back. Created by Alex Gansa and Howard Gordon, the series airs on Showtime and stars Claire Danes and Damian Lewis.

Trivia about Homeland

In Spain, the series first aired on free-to-air TV on Cuatro, with a double episode on Wednesday, April 10, 2013, drawing 2,202,000 viewers in prime time.

The pilot aired on October 2, 2011, drawing 1.08 million viewers and marking the biggest debut for a drama on Showtime in eight years.

Ben Affleck was originally set to direct the series pilot, which Showtime ordered after FX passed on it.

The series is filmed in the Charlotte, North Carolina area because it offers more tax breaks than other locations and stands in for Virginia and Washington, D.C.

Starting with season four, the writers met on the top floor of the City Tavern Club in Washington with experts such as Stanley A. McChrystal and Michael Hayden.

In October 2012, the Lebanese government planned to sue the producers for portraying Beirut's Hamra Street as a narrow alley crawling with militias.

Homeland won eight Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Drama Series in 2012, and also took home the Golden Globes for Best Drama Series in 2012 and 2013.

Howard Gordon explained that season eight was planned as the last after a three-season renewal agreed during season five, although at that point they still hadn't decided what story they would tell.
