Showtime’s new series Homeland (air date TBD) has a premise that could’ve been a great Tom Clancy novel: A CIA officer (Claire Danes) suspects that a recovered American P.O.W. (Damian Lewis) may actually be an al-Qaeda operative. Judging by this trailer, the show promises plenty of clock-ticking suspense and paranoid drama — no surprise there, since it’s produced by 24 alums Alex Gansa, Howard Gordon and Michael Klick. Our only question: Will they be able to sustain this one plotline for the entire run of the series? Or is this just a jumping off point for Danes’ character as a female Jack Ryan? Check out the official teaser trailer below, then let us know what you think in the comments.

Looks awesome. Claire Danes is a strong actress. Guaranteed to be a hit!
She looks like Gwyneth Paltrow.
Are you kidding? No way!
I hope Damian Lewis does more American mainstream movies from now on and joins the A-list.
Damien Lewis! I adore him, this looks good.
Looks great. Damian Lewis was so good in “Life”- still mad that show got cancelled.
I will forever be pissed that Life ended so early. I love Damian Lewis. And I agree he should do more movies.
I can’t believe Angela Chase grew up to be a CIA Officer. Do you think Brian Krakow is her IT guy?
Damien Lewis and Mandy Patinkin in the same show with Claire Danes? the trailer looks fantastic and the show just oozes talent. I hope this clicks.
Love the show..Best drama on T V bar none…All the actors are superb..
