"The transfer of power will not be peaceful."
Homeland, Showtime's political drama, has dropped a trailer and it takes a dig into the current issues of the U.S. which revolves around a very sensitive subject — Islamophobia.
The new trailer, released Friday, shows Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes) trying to help Muslims in the United States. "Law enforcement needs to stop harassing and demonising an entire community," the C.I.A. agent says in the trailer.
The showrunner Alex Gansa hinted of some romance possibilities between Carrie and Peter in the upcoming season. In a recent talk with TVLine, Gansa told, "We really thought that Carrie was going to kill him at the end of the season." "And then when we got there, we just couldn't do it. There was the whole business about her faith and this new found Catholicism, and we were like, 'I just don't think she is going to kill him at the end," he further explained.
As Quinn suffered a major stroke the last season, Gansa shared, "The Quinn you're going to see this season is not the Quinn you've seen before and that's going to actually open up possibilities between him and Carrie."
Here the official synopsis reads:
After she thwarted a terrorist attack in Berlin, season six picks up several months later and finds Carrie Mathison (Danes) back on American soil, living in Brooklyn, New York.
She has begun working at a foundation whose efforts are to provide aid to Muslims living in the U.S. Season six will tackle the after-effects of the U.S. presidential election, with the entire season taking place between election day and the inauguration.
It's a strange, transitional time in the halls of government filled with anxiety and different competing interests, where a very fragile and complex transfer of power takes place between the outgoing president and the incoming president-elect.
Homeland season 6 features Elizabeth Marvel (as a new president), Mandy Patinkin, and Rupert Friend as well.
Homeland will return on television on January 15. It will air on every Sunday 9pm ET/PT on Showtime. Watch the new trailer below.
