It appears that Carrie’s work is far from over. Showtime has renewed Homeland for a fifth season of 12 episodes. They’ll air in 2015.
On Homeland, CIA officer Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes) is one of the best in her field, despite being bipolar, which makes her volatile and unpredictable. With the help of her long-time mentor Saul Berenson (Mandy Patinkin), Carrie fearlessly risks everything, including her personal well-being and even sanity, to do what she feels must be done. The rest of the cast includes Rupert Friend, F. Murray Abraham, Sarita Choudhury, Tracy Letts, Nazanin Boniadi, and Laila Robins.
Including last night’s installment, seven episodes of the current fourth season have aired so far. The first half dozen installments have averaged 1.48 million viewers for the episodes’ initial airings. That’s down by 24% when compared to season three. It is however still one of the cable channel’s most popular shows.
The fourth season finale is expected to air on December 21st.
zWhat do you think? Do you still like the Homeland TV show? Do you think it should have been renewed for a fifth season or is it time for it to end?
Love Homeland would like a fifth season!
I am a big fan of the series. However,there is a constant occurrence that I find somewhat annoying throughout the series. It’s the fact that, for the majority of the time; the character Brody is being addressed by his last name….and not his first …Nicholas…or simply Nick…which kind of take away the respect that a public figure like him should be allowed to experience, given the circumstances.
That hardly ever happens with the other characters, even Abu Nazir….
I’m just wondering if others think that way
I loved the first couple seasons, it started going down hill after that. There was one episode where you thought Brody came back after being hung. I even thought for a few minutes it was a fake hanging made to look real. Too bad. The show has just lost it’s magic with Brody’s character gone. I didn’t like the last season at all so I am sure # 5 will be worse. I don’t plan on watching it anymore.
I love Homeland…. alot!!
I can’t locate Homeland on Shotime. Can you help with this problem?
please start season five. one of the best series ever
Need to find a way to bring Brody back
I LOVE HOMELAND!!! Never saw it till I got the Seasons 1-3 on dvd for Christmas and now I am hooked and ordered Showtime because of it. Keep it on but for goodness sakes get Carrie out of her crazyiness aka funk. She obviously was a great agent before all her craziness. Quinn is AWESOME and should be with Carrie!
I agree. It’s a well put together show. I am so happy Dana and Brody’s family are out. Quinn is great. Carries character is so complex, I enjoy seeing a woman in that role. No more near baby drowning a please!
I absolutely love Homeland..Cant wait for the next season. I will be so disappointed if and when it ends.
Homeland is storytelling at it’s best. Nothing on tv right now is like it. That being said season 5 should be it’s last and both Carrie and Quinn should be alive and together by the end. Saul may not be so lucky.
Homeland has been thus far and by far the best ‘ of TV in the last decade.
I have been watching Homeland from the inception of this thrilling series. Peter Quinn was mentioned in a previous comment about being too restrained. In my opinion; the character who plays Peter Quinn clearly is a gifted actor. Take the noose bof around his character and unleash his capacity for demonstrating the emotions weakly voiced in the last episode. As a skilled professional his character needs more intense lines that demonstrate the passionate actor he is , as well as balancing Carrie dominating the plot. The effect would heighten the intensity & excitement of Homeland.
I had to play catch up to get current on this program, but did so eagerly. There have been what I believe to be some weak parts like Brody’s story lingering too long and the whole issue of Cary’s baby being a little ridiculous for someone in her profession & weight of responsibility. The character has been written with gross irresponsibility regarding her reproduction rights/capabilities. I don’t think the baby should have been part of Cary’s story, bipolar or not. Casual sex is OK. Casual/absentee parenting does not go with the rest of her character. Production values & acting are… Read more »
Please bring season five. This is the most well crafted show on tv. Acting and writing are superb.
Homeland shows that very human jackasses make monumental decisions. Great writing etc.
I started late but I was completely glued to Carrie and Quinn connection. There better be some better connections with these two or there will be little reason for me to watch.
