(Showtime)
Since the Homeland TV show has already been renewed through its eighth season, fans don’t have to spend this year worrying if it will be cancelled. As one of Showtime’s top ratings earners, that wouldn’t have been too much of a concern, even without the early renewal. Earlier this month, the cable network’s programming president, Gary Levine, indicated the end could still be a long way off, but in 2017, showrunner Alex Ganza said he was working toward wrapping up the series with season eight. Will the success of the seventh season change that? Stay tuned.
A political spy thriller, Homeland stars Claire Danes, Mandy Patinkin, Elizabeth Marvel, Linus Roache, Maury Sterling, and Jake Weber. Morgan Spector joins the Showtime cast as a series regular this year. After an assassination attempt, last season ended with President Keane (Marvel) breaking her promise to Carrie (Danes) and arresting 200 members of the intelligence community – among them, Saul Berenson (Patinkin). When season seven kicks off, Carrie has exited her White House job and is living with her sister Maggie (Amy Hargreaves) in DC. Now, she plans to take on the administration and fight for the release of the 200.

What do you think? Do you still like the Homeland TV series on Showtime? Does ending it with the eighth season feel right, or should it continue past that?
4/18/18 update: Danes revealed that season eight will be the end of the show. Details here.
I love Homeland, however the show this week was completly unrealistic. The president would never fly in a standard helicopter. The Secret Service would not allow it. They would use Marine One , which is equipped with the latest communications and defensive equipment. In addition, there would be much more military support. Let’s keep it real.
The ending was horrible. That makes you think- save your self because the cause you are fighting to protect may not exist in the near future.Great Acting Carrie!
The serie is very well written and the story always surprise everyone. Season 7 is ending and I am in a mix feeling of seeing the next episode and wishing it doesn’t end.
So glad the last episode had the highest total viewers of this season. Love Carrie!
Cancel this show. It has turned from a great show into a delusional, idiotic, piece of dumbness. How about they take kindergarten teachers and accountants and make them terrorists? The show is just stupid!
