Claire Danes in Showtime's 'Homeland': Watch the trailer here!

Tags:

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.

    I hope Damian Lewis does more American mainstream movies from now on and joins the A-list.

    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?
