In a panel discussion at NeueHouse in Hollywood after the show’s official Television Academy Emmy screening, “Homeland” (http://forums.previously.tv/forum/116-homeland/) actors and creators commented on the reasons why season six has taken a different turn and tune, mainly due to “fake news,” the election, and trying to right the self-perceived “wrongs” of what they felt was the promotion of Islamophobia in the first five seasons.
As a way to try and combat that criticism, season six was created as a way to stop being “part of the problem” and be “part of the cure.”
