Homeland is returning with a new season this Sunday, February 9, at 9pm EST. The premiere episode of season 8 is titled Deception Indicated and it will focus on Carrie Mathison as she gets ready for a new mission with her mentor, Saul Berenson. Executive producer Alex Gansa revealed that the entire season will revolve around the "protégé-mentor relationship".
Homeland was a story about Carrie and Saul right from the beginning. They were always the center of attention. As the story is coming to an end, the showrunners want to emphasize the relationship between the two beloved characters. But they have revealed that the final season of the spy thriller will be filled with a lot of conflicts.
"There's a lot of tension between them. There's a lot of trust, there's a lot of loyalty, but there's also a lot of conflict... And that story resolves. The Carrie/Saul story really does resolve in the last season. I certainly view it as closing the book, and really resolving this protégé-mentor relationship, and saying something definitive about America's counterterrorism activities over the last twenty years, since 9/11. So the story, for me, ends there," Gansa told TV Line.
Here is the official synopsis of Homeland season 8
