'Homeland' will come to an end after Season 8, with the series finale airing on Sunday, April 26 on Showtime.
With the show, which was once the most-viewed series in Showtime history, still bringing in a large number of viewers, many fans have wondered why the show is coming to an end.
According to its showrunner Alex Gansa, he decided to bring Homeland to a close after Season 8 because after a decade it felt like the right time to move on. During the TCA summer press tour in August 2018, for example, Gansa said:"I am sad to see the journey coming to an end, but it is time."In fact, Gansa has been hinting that Season 8 would be the final season since 2016.
At that time, Deadline reported that Showtime,"is a long ways off from making a decision on Homeland's future beyond Season 8 but it is expected to do it in full coordination with Gansa." This suggests that Showtime were always thinking of ending the show in line with Gansa's wishes. With the showrunner saying that he was done after Season 8, Showtime could have chosen to go on without him, but may have seen this as too big of a risk for the money that Homeland costs to make. According toepisodes of the show's later seasons cost $6 million each, with Danes making $500,000 an episode.
