Fresh from winning major accolades at the recently concluded Emmy awards, critically-acclaimed series Homeland is proving to be a show to look out for as it comes back for a second season.

This psychological thriller made a big splash at the Emmys last month when it upstaged other well-known dramas to win a total of four awards, including the coveted Best Drama Series beating hot favorite Mad Men in the process.
The show’s main stars Claire Danes and Damian Lewis also triumphed at the awards show when they were acknowledged for their exceptional work as both won in their respective categories for Best Lead Actress and Best Lead Actor in a Drama Series. Meanwhile, the series’ co-creators Alex Gansa and Howard Gordon earned an Emmy for their outstanding writing.
Anthony Yeap, Acting Territory Head for FOX International Channels Malaysia said, “Thanks to Homeland’s big win at the Emmys, everybody is excited about the upcoming season and I can assure our viewers that the show will not disappoint. We are thrilled to showcase the second season of Homeland on FOX Movies Premium and FOX Movies Premium HD,” he said.
The series follows MIA Marine Sgt. Nicholas Brody (Lewis) who returns home to a hero’s welcome after eight years in enemy confinement. However, brilliant but volatile CIA agent Carrie Mathison (Danes) isn’t buying his story.
The second season continues the game of cat-and-mouse as Brody further infiltrates the US government and an attack on US soil grows imminent.
