The long cooling off period between the Season 5 and Season 6 of "Homeland" was the result of the difference between the production and management team. The creator, Alex Ganda and Showtime head, David Nevins had mentioned in early 2016 that the break will take place to better develop the plotline of Season 6 itself. What is the "Homeland" Season 6 bringing for all of us? It adds new characters played by Elizabeth Marvel, Jake Weber and Dominic Fumusa, among other cast members.

The show will also feature Emmy nominee F. Murray Abraham and Emmy and Tony Award winner Mandy Patinkin. Main character Carrie Mathison, played by Claire Danes, will be shown living in Brooklyn, with the background story of threats and controversies prevailing in the background.

Season 6 builds on the plot involving U.S. Presidential elections for president-elect, a character played by Elizabeth Marvel.
