Showtime has officially picked up Homeland to series, a new drama show by Howard Gordon and Alex Gansa. Other 24 crew members working on it include Sean Callery who is composing the music and Michael Klick who serves as producer. Nestor Serrano (Navi Araz, Season 4) and Navid Negahban (Jamot, Season 8) have roles in the pilot.

HOMELAND 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.” The series will be produced by FOX 21.
