"Homeland" Season 6 is currently in development. The next season will feature more changes for Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes) as well as her daughter, Frannie.
Through the years, Carrie has undergone a lot of struggles. Despite trying to live a normal life previously, she realized that she is very much needed by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and still has more to contribute.
"Homeland" Season 6 is expected to feature more of Carrie's special talents, as well as her endeavors with her bipolar disorder. Furthermore, "Homeland" Season 6 will present her daughter, Frannie, all grown up and having a more prominent presence on the show.
TVLine stated that Frannie will be a major recurring character in "Homeland" Season 6. Carrie's daughter will be four years old in the new season, set in New York City. The mother and child will be living in Brooklyn and Frannie will most likely be shown interacting with her environment and the people in it.
Casting is currently underway for the role of the young girl in "Homeland" Season 6.
CinemaBlend noted that Frannie will most likely be spending a lot of time with Carrie's sister in "Homeland" Season 6, since she will have to be out frequently to solve cases and search for terrorists.
Frannie is the third child of Carrie and Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis), who was killed before she was born. Carrie and Frannie has a special relationship which will be shown more in "Homeland" Season 6, and there was one point when Carrie seriously thought about drowning her own baby daughter.
In the meantime, Carrie is still trying to determine whether she can continue living a normal life later on.
Having Frannie with her in "Homeland" Season 6may actually change her perspective much, especially when her maternal instincts will be tapped every now and then. Having a more active role in raising Franniein "Homeland" Season 6 change how Carrie does things at work.
Deadline reported that "Homeland" Season 6 will proceed to a seventh and eighth season after the network previously ordered two more seasons. This can mean that the show may see Frannie grow up to her teens or even adult stages.
The "Homeland" Season 6 story may even come full circle by showing how Frannie also inherited some of her mother's best traits that would make her a great candidate for the agency after her mother retires.
Claire Danes and showrunner Alex Gansa are reportedly already prepared for the next three seasons.
"Homeland" Season 6 is set to launch in January 2017 on Showtime. More updates and details are expected soon.
