As if the joy of the fall TV season really starting weren’t enough, this time of year brings news about upcoming projects that all sound awesome. To wit: Showtime’s possible new series, possibly called Homeland. According to Variety, Homeland is a “conspiracy thriller drama” about “the release of a U.S. soldier after a long period in captivity as a prisoner of war.” The yet-uncast soldier had been presumed dead, but his release is slightly less than peachy: “a female CIA agent becomes convinced that he has become a rogue agent now focused on aiding the enemy.” 24‘s Howard Gordon and Alex Gansa are behind the show, which means we can expect a lot of tension, intrigue, and gruesome violence. Joy! I’m one of the only people who liked Showtime’s Sleeper Cell five years ago, but I really liked it, so this is pretty much my dream series.
What about you, PopWatchers? Are you burned out on shows about CIA agents? Or does Homeland sound appropriately thrilling?
i need preloaded and updated operations with data items as dynamic
“Sleeper Cell” was excellent.
Can’t wait
Yes, I thought Sleeper Cell was amazing, even the second season. It was a real “wake up” call, great acting and overall an amazing mini series. Hopefully the boyz from 24 can do it again for Showtime! I look forward to watching their new show
Sleeper Cell was excellent. Really loved that show. And Homeland sound great. With Howard Gordon and Alex Gansa at the helm, I expect action, drama, suspense and a lot of “I can’t belive how amazing this show is” moments.
what the heck I’ll try anything once. anyone know whats up with the Showtime version of the show “Shameless”?
