Combatting the frustrating news is Deadline’s report that the Emmy award-winning drama has been renewed for a further two seasons meaning Homeland will still be on air in 2019.
This year, however, fans will have to do without any new episodes at all: Showtime has announced that season six has been pushed back to January.
One of the hallmarks of the approaching winter months is the beginning of a new season of Homeland with its previous five instalments having regularly begun in October.
The episodes will comprise the days between the election and the inauguration.
