Alex's Relationship With Carrie Will Be Affected By His Changes?
Meanwhile, the show's developer Alex Gansa teased that Carrie will be seen in a "very different and singular journey" in "Homeland" Season 6, as per International Business Times. Fans, too, will feel a little different with the coming new installment, but, as he said, it would give "a significant amount of momentum."
On Peter Quinn, on the other hand, the changes his character shows will not only affect his personal life but his relationship with Carrie as well. "Quinn this coming season will really represent a very profound and familiar casualty of the war on terror for our audience," the screenwriter explained. "What he endured last year is different from what he's going through this year [when it comes to Carrie]." "Homeland" Season 6 will return on Jan. 15, 2017 on Showtime.
