Homeland
OH SNAP! ‘Life’ Star Damien Lewis Leads Showtime Pilot ‘Homeland’ Opposite Claire Danes
Dec 22nd
Ohhhhhhh SNAP!!! This is SO EXCITED! I don’t think people realize how much I LOVED Life on NBC starring Damien Lewis and Sarah Shahi. I REALLY DID! It was SO GREAT! I still can’t believe NBC cancelled it. NBC’s loss is USA and Showtime’s gain. USA grabbed Sarah Shahi for Fairly Legal and Showtime has just grabbed Damien Lewis for Homeland.
Homeland centers on Marine Sergeant Scott Brody (Damien Lewis), who returns home after spending eight years as a prisoner of war in Baghdad, and Carrie Anderson (Claire Danes), a driven CIA officer who suspects he might be plotting an attack on America. Scott, who was discovered during a U.S. attack on an enemy base, was brought to the U.S. with much fanfare and is happy to be home with his family, wife Jessica (Laura Fraser), and two kids, but still carries with him the trauma of his imprisonment and torture.
Sounds VERY heavy but I love Damien Lewis so I’m on board!
