HOMELAND, a one-hour drama, is a psychological thriller that tells the story of Carrie Anderson (Claire Danes), a CIA officer battling her own demons, who becomes convinced that the intelligence that led to the rescue of Scott Brody (Damian Lewis) a U.S. soldier who had been missing and presumed deal for nine years, was a setup and may be connected to an Al Qaeda plot to be carried out on American soil. Mandy Patinkin will portray Saul, a veteran CIA Division Chief who is Carrie's (Danes) boss and mentor.
Homeland is written by Howard Gordon, Alex Gansa and Gideon Raff, and is based on Raff's Israeli television series "Prisoners of War."From the get-go, Gordon and Gansa envisioned Homeland as a cable series, its development was shepherded through 20th TV’s cable division Fox21 under new president Bert Salke. It marks the first pilot order for Salke as well as Nevins. “Homeland is going to touch on some pretty dangerous themes and a lot of really hot-button issues I don’t think anybody else could get away with,” said Nevins. “There is stuff bubbling up in that show that is going to freak people out.”
