An espionage thriller series hailed by fans as one of the "best ever" has returned to Netflix . Homeland first hit screens in 2011 and focuses on Carrie Mathison (played by Claire Danes) a CIA operative with bipolar disorder who is convinced that Nicholas Brody ( Damien Lewis ), a US marine who was captured by al-Qaeda and spent eight years in captivity before being rescued, was turned by the terror group.

The long-running series initially follows her attempts to prove her suspicions that Brody poses a risk to the US, while struggling with her mental health and facing scepticism from intelligence colleagues. The series was developed by Howard Gordon, Alex Gansa, and based on the Israeli series Prisoners of War by Gideon Raff, who was an executive producer on Homeland.
