Here we are with all the information about the longest-running series of Showtime, Homeland. As of now, Homeland has released eight seasons. This show revolves around Carrie Mathison, a CIA operations officer who is suffering from bipolar disorder. She is currently pursuing a celebrated US Marine. Carrie is suspecting him of working with terrorists.
We know that Mathison starts her mission under the guidance of her mentor Saul Berenson, who is the CIA Division Chief. This show is an adaptation of Prisoners of War by Gideon Raff, which is an Israeli TV Series. Homeland, first aired on October 2, 2011.
Soon after it’s first season released, Homeland got universal recognition for its spectacular performance of the cast, grand narrative, and a responsible depiction of the Global War on Terrorism.
Also, with its quality of production, the show received a Peabody Award, Golden Globe awards, and multiple Emmy awards, among others. Till now, it has managed to run eight successful seasons. And with each season, it has become the most-watched and highest-rated show in the history of Showtime.
Damian Lewis (Nick Brody) also revealed that former US President Barack Obama accepted that he loves to watch Homeland, back in 2012. It is just unfortunate to know that despite its enormous success, the channel Showtime has decided to cancel the show after such a long time.
Now, everyone is wondering that is the show canceled, or will there be a season 9? Here’s all you need to know!
Has Homeland Season 9 Cancelled or Renewed?
As per information, the first episode of season 8 was aired on February 9, 2024. It then ended by April 26, 2024, after delivering 12 episodes. At present, all those episodes are available on Showtime for the fans. Also, regarding Season 9, Showtime said that the eighth season would be the last one for this political thriller on August 2, 2019.
What the Co-Developer of Homeland has to say?
Just to clear the air, this was not a last-minute decision that was made. The co-developer of Homeland, Gansa said in an Interview that, it’s a story of a mentor and his protege. The story revolves around Saul and Carrie throughout the eight seasons. According to them, they have closed the story, and their team hopes that they have done justice to the information.
According to Gansa, Homeland has been one of the most rewarding and joyful experience of his career. He says that not everybody is as lucky as him. Gansa added, he also got a chance to partner with Claire Danes, and at the same time, got the support from Fox and Showtime. Gansa said he was fortunate to work with some gifted filmmakers, actors, and writers of the industry.
He also added that although he is sad that the show has come to an end, but then it was the right time. Also, Maury Sterling, who plays Max in the show, posted a Goodbye note on Instagram. Mandy Patinkin, who plays the lead Saul Benerson, posted an emotional video with the caption, ‘Homeland Memories,’ on Instagram.
Even if the show is over, one can never really bid farewell to his/her favorite show at any time. It is downright disheartening. But we indeed have a satisfaction that the creators completed the front by a proper conclusion and by wrapping up every character’s role. So, we have a joy that this wasn’t a forced wrap-up.
So, with all this information, we can confirm that Homeland Season 9 has been officially canceled. But still, as a fan, one can always hope for a miracle.
Stay safe, and keep reading for more updates!
