Registrations

 

The first episode of Homeland Season 7 hits the US screens on February 11th and the UK will get the chance to see it a week later on Channel 4. If you haven’t been watching Homeland, then take some time out to curl up in front of the TV and tune in on Netflix where you’ll now find all 6 seasons. it’s the perfect remedy for the winter blues. If you want to catch up before you watch season 7, it’s likely that the latest season won’t hit Netflix for another year, so you might want to record it so you can watch it sooner than that!

Series 7 follows on from the death of Peter Quinn that we saw at the end of season 6 and continues with Carrie Mathison quitting her job at the White House to take on the Keane administration in Washington DC.

Some familiar faces in season 7 and some new ones

You’ll certainly recognise many of the characters in season 7. President Elizabeth Keane makes her return, along with Linus Roache and Saul Berenson. There will also be some new characters making their debut in season 7. We’re being treated to a new baddie in the form of Dar Adal, played by F Murray Abraham, and Dylan Baker is also joining the cast playing a US Senator.

Not only are there familiar faces, but there are familiar places too in this new series, with the setting returning Virginia, where the first three seasons were located.

Just two more seasons left?

Rumour has it, that season 8 will be the final ever season of Homeland. The last two seasons are to be one continuous story that will round off the Homeland saga forever.
