A week after picking up drama pilot Homeland to series, Showtime has released its first advance peek at the series, which starts production in the summer. The thriller, based on Gideon Raff's Israeli series Prisoners of War, was written by former 24 showrunner Howard Gordon, Raff and Alex Gansa. It 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 plays Saul, a veteran CIA Division Chief who is Carrie’s boss and mentor.

Seems pretty interesting. I will probably add this to my list.

That does look like an interesting show based on the clip. Now that 24 is over, I need something else to fill the void, and this just might do the job.

Just two weeks after ABC canceled cult favorite V, the show’s breakout alien Morena Baccarin has joined another drama series, Showtime’s Homeland.

The upcoming thriller, from 24 executive producers Howard Gordon and Alex Gansa, centers on Marine Sergeant Scott Brody (Damian Lewis), who returns home eight years after going missing in Iraq, and Carrie Anderson (Claire Danes), a driven CIA officer who suspects he might be plotting an attack on America. Baccarin co-stars as Jessica Brody, Scott’s smart, strong wife. She replaces Laura Fraser who played the role in the pilot.

It won't last long, Morena Baccarin is the kiss of Death lets look at some of her history.

V - Cancelled
Firefly - Cancelled
Stargate SG1 - Cancelled not long after she was in it

Which is a shame as I really like her as an actress, she plays her roles really well

So did anyone else watch it tonight? I didnt even hear about this show till I saw it mentioned before Dexter. I liked it, kind of reminded me Showtimes other show Sleeper Cell. But like Sleeper Cell they did a crap job promoting it.

I saw it. The pilots are supposed to be good, that's how network's decide whether to pick up series or not. Let's see how it will play out, but I can't wait for episode 2 next weekend. Shame that season 1 will only have 12, but it is Showtime we are talking about. Here is an extended trailer that hasn't been posted in this thread yet:

Really glad it got picked up. I'm loving the show.

I like this show too. Good casting and good plot so far. Each episode doesn't have that "this episode is about this" type feeling. It's just one long book style series.
