With Comic-Con happening right under our noses, some trailers, features, and news could slip right through the cracks. But one new show that we won’t miss out on is Amazon‘s”Homecoming.”
From “Mr. Robot” creator Sam Esmail, the trailer gives off a similar vibe to the popular; Rami Malek helmed drama. Everything is stark and stylized, and though there is perfection in each voyeuristic shot, there is also an uneasiness. The show, according to Deadline, has already received a two-season straight-to-series order. The episodes will run roughly a half-hour apiece, and will undoubtedly pack quite a bit of drama and performance into each episode.

“Homecoming” features a fairly stacked cast. Oscar-winner Julia Roberts will star in the series, along with Sissy Spacek, Hong Chau, and Dermot Mulroney, among others. With Esmail at the helm, this will be a series fashioned to strict modernity, with stark performances and captivating dialogue the likes he has brought to life in “Mr. Robot.”
Here’s the synopsis of the show:
Written by the podcast’s creators Eli Horowitz and Micah Bloomberg and directed by Esmail, Homecoming is a psychological thriller that centers on a caseworker at a secret government facility (Roberts) and a soldier eager to rejoin civilian life.
Presented in a collage of telephone calls, therapy sessions and overheard conversations, the Homecoming podcast had a cast led by Catherine Keener that also included Oscar Isaac, David Schwimmer, Amy Sedaris and David Cross. Keener voiced the caseworker, with Isaac as the soldier.
“Homecoming” premieres November 2 on Amazon Prime Video.
