Nearly two years since its seventh season ended with CIA intelligence officer Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes) in captivity in a Russian prison, “Homeland” returns for a final 12 episodes. This season, Mathison is suspected of disloyalty as Saul Berenson (Mandy Patinkin) negotiates peace between the Afghan government and the Taliban.
Originally based on the Israeli series “Hatufim” (“Prisoners of War”), created by Gideon Raff, “Homeland” tells the story of the relationship between a mentor and his protégé as they counter terrorism in a dangerous world. Danes, Patinkin, executive producers and co-creators Alex Gansa and Howard Gordon, and producer-director Lesli Linka Glatter previewed the eighth season in a Q&A session at the Television Critics Association press tour.
