What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the Showtime premium cable channel, Homeland follows former CIA officer Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes). Although she’s living with Bipolar Disorder, Carrie was one of the best in her field. Set several months after the end of season five, season six takes place between the US presidential election and inauguration. Now living in Brooklyn, Carrie works for a foundation, helping Muslims who have been mistreated by domestic law enforcement. The Homeland cast also includes Rupert Friend, Elizabeth Marvel, F. Murray Abraham and Mandy Patinkin. Recurring in season six are Sebastian Koch, Maury Sterling, Hill Harper, Patrick Sabongui, Robert Knepper, and Dominic Fumusa.
Season Six Ratings
The sixth season of Homeland averaged a 0.42 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 1.28 million viewers. Compared to the season five, that’s down by 17% in the demo and down by 17% in viewers. Find out how Homeland stacks up against the other Showtime TV shows.
On August 11, 2016, Homeland was renewed through its seventh and eighth seasons. A season seven start date has yet to be announced. Stay tuned.
Telly’s Take
Although Homeland has already been renewed through season eight on Showtime, its ratings have really fallen off in the current sixth season. Still, it remains one of the channel’s most watched shows. While ratings set the ad rates for commercial television, subscription cable can look to the Nielsens to see what programming their subscribers watch. Although there is no official decision beyond the season eight renewal, EP Alex Ganza has said he and the creative team are writing towards the series’ conclusion. As things now stand, I expect the eighth season of Homeland will be its last.

What do you think? Did Showtime make the right choice in renewing the Homeland TV show through season eight? When should this espionage drama series end?
I’ve been so hooked on “Homeland” one of the best American series that I have watched, but waiting so long for #8 to air. A happy conclusion with Peter and Carrie together would be so satisfying after all we as viewers have been thro with this gripping series.
It was one of the best series on TV. Then, I think the show made a left turn and should be cancelled.
this is the first time I have ever posted a comment about a series, movie or show. Homeland was a show were I just watched the first episode, and I was instantly caught up with this series!! It is a show that keeps you interested constantly……a first for me.. And as others have stated, please keep peter Quinn on the show! Have him show up at Carries home after faking his death and receiving treatment for his brain disorder due to the gas attack on him.. let him be cured! And for once, give your audience what they want…..a great… Read more »
I loved reading your post. I can relate , it’s been a long hard life for me too.
I also love homeland but the last couple seasons it’s not the same show anymore. I miss homeland before it went all PC on us.
I love this show always keep you on the edge
The reason why viewership has fallen off is that promotion is lacking and there is too much time between episodes for such an action packed series!!!! All the people I know who watch Homeland are hooked but they start watching other series waiting for it to come back!
Please, bring Rupert Friend back as Peter Quinn in season 7 & 8. In my opinion, Quinn is an integral part of Homeland.
This show is just fantastic. Hope you never cancel. Claire Danes is unbelievably fabulous to watch and of course Mandy Patimkin is spellbinding. Bringing back Peter would be terrific. Please do.
I LOVE THIS SHOW IT IS AWESOME, BEST SHOW IVE SEEN ON T.V IN YRS, KEEP RENEWING IT .WOULD HATE TO SEE IT CANCELLED, BRING BACK PETER
I am very excited to see homeland renew. I’m just finishing season 6. One more episode to go. I can’t hardly wait for season 7
Cancel I am tired of the evil white men crap. I found the story lines pathetic in season six.
THIS IS A AWSOME SHOW ,SOME PEOPLE JUST CANT HANDLE THE REALITY OF THE WORLD AND WHAT HAPPENS IN IT
My wife and I have been loyal fans but With the direction the show is taking we have decided to not watch future episodes. Portraying American white males in a negative way, When it comes extremist Muslims is going too far. We will not support what is obviously a political statement!!!!
Homeland is garbage propaganda show,stopped watching after first 2 seasons.
Cancelled! It sure as hell better not be done. I’m tired of networks starting great shows & then ending them, leaving you hanging, wanting more.
Homeland is one of the best shows on television. The acting is so real, the storyline gets better each season. The problem is the network keeps the audience waiting for months on end not knowing when it’s coming back. If the ratings are down that’s the reason. I will start season one and enjoy every minute of every episode up to now. Peter Quinn come back.
I have looked forward to seeing Homeland every week for several years and have been frustrated every time it stops without knowing whether or not I have seen the last episode or if it will come back. I would hope that the ending of the last episode is not the end…it appeared to me to be a teaser ending!
Loved season six. Brilliant writing and acting.Relevant in today’s world. Getting better with each season.
