Fans will have access to watch the re-runs of the show and all the episodes of the series on Showtime. But, when it comes to the possibility of another season, here’s what we know. Showtime announced on August 2, 2019, that the espionage thriller will be concluding with the eighth season.
However, it turns out that it wasn’t a last moment decision. In an interview with a leading entertainment portal, co-developer of Homeland, Gansa said,
“Homeland was conceived as a story about a protégé and a mentor. The Saul-Carrie story has been the one constant through eight seasons. And we really get to bring that story to a close. It’s the reason that I stuck around for eight seasons. And I hope we did some justice”.
He continued, “Homeland has been the most joyful and rewarding experience of my career. Not many have been as lucky as me—partnered with the miraculous Claire Danes, supported to the ends of the earth by Fox and Showtime, and working in the company of some of the most gifted writers, actors, and filmmakers in the business. I am sad to see the journey coming to an end, but it is time”.
Yeah, we know it’s easier said than done—bidding farewell to your favourite show is disheartening. But one thing that the fans can be happy about is how the makers concluded the show! Netizens say that season 8 wrapped up all the character arcs, and the show received a smooth conclusive ending, instead of a forced one.
Meanwhile, fans can engage themselves with watching re-runs and fill the void. All episodes of Homeland are now easily available on numerous platforms.
