In an interview with Leisure Weekly, “Homeland” showrunner Alex Gansa mentioned filming in Morocco, revealing the situation introduced its personal dramatic moments behind the scenes:

“There was quite a lot of on-the-ground drama in Morocco and it proved to be far tougher to shoot a complete season of a sequence there than we had anticipated. The Moroccan authorities could be very specific about something that you simply carry into the nation. Even when you carry a faux weapon into the nation, it needs to be registered. So think about doing large army set items and having to register each bullet and account for it. Additionally, when you’re telling a narrative in Afghanistan, we wish actors who might communicate Pashto or Dari. However the Moroccan safety providers stored us utterly protected and all people obtained residence tremendous.“

As Gansa detailed, “Homeland” season 8 largely occurred in Afghanistan, because the sequence appeared to seize the peace efforts between america and the Taliban. Coincidentally, there was a deal in actual life between the 2 nations, shortly after the premiere of the eighth season. Life imitates artwork, I suppose. Neat data apart, it isn’t stunning that the ultimate season went all-put with its manufacturing. After a season or two specializing in smaller-stakes tales centered on Carrie, “Homeland” ended issues with a bang, as peace is all the time non permanent in a world stuffed with spies and self-interest.

The “large army set items” should not the principle attraction of “Homeland,” however at the least they appeared fairly nice. Price all the trouble? I feel so. Showtime might be altering its identify quickly, however all eight seasons of “Homeland” are nonetheless obtainable to stream.
