In case you’re still looking for an extra push to start watching the critically acclaimed Showtime series “Homeland,” you might’ve missed the news that none other Steven Spielberg is a pretty big fan. Indeed, if you’re like me, you might be in the minority of those who have yet to carve out time for the show, and with season six around the corner, there’s no better time to start, because that backlog is going to start piling up.

After season five found Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes) and co. rolling around Berlin, now they’re back on U.S. soil, with a U.S. presidential election at the center of the story. As if we haven’t already been stressed enough by the current election… Here’s the official synopsis:
After she thwarted a terrorist attack in Berlin, season six picks up several months later and finds Carrie Mathison (Danes) back on American soil, living in Brooklyn, New York. She has begun working at a foundation whose efforts are to provide aid to Muslims living in the U.S. Season six will tackle the after effects of the U.S. presidential election, with the entire season taking place between election day and the inauguration. It’s a strange, transitional time in the halls of government filled with anxiety and different competing interests, where a very fragile and complex transfer of power takes place between the outgoing president and the incoming president-elect. Guest stars this season include Hill Harper (Limitless), Robert Knepper (Prison Break), Patrick Sabongui (The Flash) and Dominic Fumusa (NURSE JACKIE).
“Homeland” returns on Sunday, January 15th at 9 PM.
