Donald Trump may not be out of the Oval Office, but he’s on his way out of Alex Gansa’s inspiration for “Homeland” scripts.
The showrunner behind the critically-acclaimed Showtime series says that the allegories he’s been packing the drama with are out for the eighth — and most likely final — season.
“We’re going to start fresh in Season 8 and probably do a fairly big time jump between 7 and 8 and put any Trump parallels behind us,” Gansa told Entertainment Weekly in an interview published Thursday. “We’ll tell a very contained story, hopefully in Israel.”
OK, so while lead Claire Danes spilled the beans Wednesday about the eighth installment being “Homeland”s last and Showtime said in a statement to TheWrap yesterday it “has not made a decision beyond Season 8,” it looks like Gansa is operating as if it is the end.
