'Homeland' season 8 will be the last for Showtime's series
All those looking forward to Homeland's upcoming season eight, here's a sad but not surprising news: It will be the Showtime series' last. Showtime's president David Nevins announced the decision on Monday, putting an official stamp on what showrunner Alex Gansa and cast members had been hinting for long.
“[Exec producer] Alex Gansa will be bringing this show, which has won eight Emmys and five Golden Globes, to its proper conclusion,” Nevins told reporters at the Television Critics Association summer press tour.
“I cannot say enough about how much Homeland has meant for the acceleration of our brand, not to mention to me personally. It was, in fact, the first show that I greenlit when I came to Showtime.” "I do not want to hear the word cancellation," Nevins clarified. "Alex Gansa will bring the show to its proper conclusion."
