'Homeland' Season 6 Release Date & Spoilers: More Of Carrie's Bipolar Condition; Quinn Returns?
American political thriller TV series "Homeland" is returning to its network Showtime for its sixth season. But before it can make its comeback, fans have turned to spoilers and reports on what to expect in the upcoming season especially with so much cliffhangers.
According to a report by Latin Post, showrunner Alex Gansa revealed that fans will see more of the bipolar condition of the show's chief protagonist, Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes). The source says that the production has always included the character's condition in their discussions as they want to include it in each season and incorporate it into the overall plot.
Carrie's bipolar condition is also central to her character. It plays a big role in the decisions that she makes in her life, thus, season 6 will be showing more of her condition as they move the location setting to New York. Additionally, Danes also has some influence on her character. Gansa said that the actress/producer knows her character better than anyone.
In other news, fans continue to guess if Peter Quinn (Rupert Friend) will live or not. The last time fans saw him in the season 5 finale, he was lying on the bed, comatose. According to The Hollywood Reporter, there is a chance that he will be back. Series co-creator Howard Gordon hinted of his return as well during the Television Critics Association press tour.
"The way we're thinking about bringing him back — if he does come back — is really exciting to me personally," Gordon revealed.
If he does come back to life again, it's expected that he will not be the same. Movie News Guide reported that Showtime big boss, David Nevin, revealed how Quinn may become a changed man if he survives. Nevin stated, "Quinn is severely damaged. There is no question about it. The life-or-death question remains. But if he should live, it will not be in any way, shape or form the way he has lived to date."
