Claire Danes Lands Showtime Drama "Homeland"

Tagged:  •  

She’s been in talks with the producers of “Homeland” for awhile, and now it’s confirmed that Claire Danes is set to play the lead female role.
According to Deadline Hollywood, “Homeland” is centered around an American soldier taken prisoner during the invasion of Iraq in 2003.
Ms Danes will play Carrie Anderson, a driven CIA officer battling her psychological demons who becomes convinced that the intelligence that led to his re-capture was a setup and that this national hero may be connected to an Al Qaeda plot to be carried out on American soil.
