Hugh Dancy will join wife Claire Danes on the small screen for the final season of Homeland.
The husband and wife will share screen time as Dancy has been tapped for a multi-episode arc on Showtime’s spy thriller based on the original Israeli series Prisoners of War.
According to Deadline, the Emmy-nominated actor will portray John Zabel, a savvy Washington consultant who joins the White House as a new foreign-policy advisor to the President and a formidable opponent to Saul Berenson (Mandy Patinkin).
The eight and final season of Homeland will see Carrie Mathison (Danes) recovering after months of confinement in a Russian gulag. Her body is healing, but her memory remains fractured. Meanwhile, Saul has been dispatched to engage the Taliban in peace negotiations, and against medical advice, he asks Carrie to walk with him into the lion’s den — one last time.
Dancy’s credits include Hannibal, Showtime’s The Big C and Hulu’s The Path.
Season 8 of Homeland is set is to premiere late in 2019.
