Homeland star Morena Baccarin is pregnant with her first child, according to a U.S. report.

The actress, who plays Jessica Brody on the hit U.S. TV drama series, is expecting a baby with her director/producer husband Austin Chick, according to People.com.

The pair wed in November 2011.

Homeland writer/producer Henry Bromell has died after suffering a heart attack.

The TV veteran passed away on Monday at the age of 65, according to Deadline.com.

A statement from studio executives at Twentieth Century Fox TV, which produces the Emmy Award-winning series, reads, "We were lucky to work with Henry on and off for the past 18 years. He was a supremely talented writer and as kind and warm a person as you could ever meet. He will be deeply missed at the studio and on Homeland. Our hearts and prayers go out to his wife and children."

Bromell graduated from the prestigious Amh...

Homeland star Morena Baccarin sizzles in a new photoshoot for British GQ magazine.

The 33-year-old Brazilian, who stars as Nicholas Brody's (Damian Lewis) wife on Showtime's hit drama, isn't sure if her character will be returning in late September for the show's highly anticipated third season.

"I don't know! I've asked and harassed but I haven't gotten any information," she tells British GQ. "But I don't think anyone is safe."

Baccarin played the leader of the alien species that came to Earth in NBC's brief re-hash of 80s sci-fi TV miniseries V in 2009; and she also starred in the...

Hours before the red carpet event on Saturday, Fox movie executives decided to cancel the Los Angeles premiere of Billy Crystal and Bette Midler's new comedy "Parental Guidance" out of respect for the victims of the Newtown, CT, elementary school shooting that resulted in 26 deaths on Friday morning.

Fox issued the following statement: "In light of the horrific tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut we are canceling the red carpet press event and the after party for the Parental Guidance premiere, scheduled today in downtown Los Angeles. The hearts of all involved with this film go out to the vic...

Considering it was the second-to-last episode of the season, last night’s episode of Homeland (“The Motherfucker with a Turban”) was barely enough to get viewers’ blood pumping let alone get them excited for the season finale next Sunday. More of a “filler” episode than anything else, “Turban” felt like a midseason brush off with little real suspense or drama. On a side note, last night’s episode of Dexter was incredible and is exactly how Homeland should have done it.

The opening scene was possibly the biggest let down of the night. Last week’s episode ended with Carrie walking into a pi...

Forget everything I said last week about Homeland. I was wrong and I take it back. Actually, I still stand by what I said, but this week the writers have redeemed themselves with “Two Hats.” I honestly have no idea where the showrunners plan to take the rest of the season, but with only three episodes left, they have certainly set it up to be quite explosive (pun intended).

So, we left off after last week’s frustratingly unrealistic episode with Carrie watching as Roya essentially kidnaps Brody and takes him away in a helicopter. As this week’s episode opens, we catch up with Carrie, Pete...

This season of Homeland has really pushed the boundaries of believability, sometimes veering into directions that are downright ridiculous. But, as with any series, loyal fans will forgive the writers when they ask their audience to suspend disbelief so completely that all sense of realism is ignored. In the season’s first episode, we knew it was absurd to think the CIA would send an ex-agent who suffered a mental breakdown less than a year earlier back into the field because of one potential contact. We all smiled and nodded when Carrie was allowed to have contact with Brody again, even th...

Last night in a skit for "Saturday Night Live" Anne Hathaway donned a blonde wig to parody "Homeland" star Claire Danes. She also resurrected her Katie Holmes impression.

During her third stint as SNL host, Hathaway portrayed Danes in her award-winning portrayal of bipolar CIA agent Carrie Mathison. Hathaway feigned a tearful meltdown and a kiss with a detainee in an interview room in a parody of the popular Showtime drama before poking fun at newly single Holmes.

Hathaway first targeted Holmes during her first SNL hosting gig, and she did it again with a spoof interview on "The Ellen DeG...

Since it premiered in the Fall of 2011, Homeland has unleashed episode after episode of heart-stopping and sweat-inducing action. The writers are brilliantly adept at misleading viewers and reversing plot directions midseason to avoid possible monotony or repetition. Last night’s episode, though, was a rare misfire in the show’s brief history. “A Gettysburg Address” is a typical “filler episode” which is commonplace for most other series. Homeland, however, has managed to avoid these necessary-but-boring expository installments until now. The episode has very little action and only serves t...

There’s a reason Homeland is one of the best shows on television. Episodes like last night (entitled “Q&A”) remind viewers that the writers are not just thinking week-to-week; they have a much grander plan in mind, one that will continue to surprise viewers throughout each season. Last week’s episode ended with Carrie revealing to Brody that the CIA knows about the video confession he made before his attempted suicide bombing. He was then swiftly taken into custody with the knowledge that his real motives had been discovered. A suspenseful cliffhanger of an ending, but where could the serie...

The trends of the TV season are continuing in the ratings: In the fourth week, CBS was tops among total viewers, with 10.33 million. NBC, while third in total viewers with 7.49 million, managed to win the 18-49 demo for the fourth straight week, still its best showing in a decade.

NBC’s ‘Sunday Night Football’ was once again the top show of the week, attracting 17.47 million viewers. A resurgent ’60 Minutes’ finished second with 15.86 million, followed closely by a new episode of ‘The Big Bang Theory’ with 15.73 million sets of eyeballs. The latter show has certainly become the network’s c...

Showtime is renewing CIA drama "Homeland" for season three, greenlighting a 12-episode run. Production on the third season will begin next spring.

Showtime president of entertainment David Nevins released the following statement on the show's renewal: "The Emmy wins for Homeland have certainly set the stage for a great second season. The writers, cast and crew of Homeland continue to create a remarkably entertaining and suspenseful roller coaster ride, growing audiences week after week. We can’t wait for our viewers to experience what unfolds through the rest of season two. Our partners at...

Well, that was unexpected. Last night’s episode of Homeland, titled “New Car Smell,” took a turn that most assumed we wouldn’t see happen until at least Season Four. Due to the “confession” that Brody recorded before his aborted attempt at becoming a suicide bomber, the CIA now knows unequivocally that he is a terrorist who is working for Abu Nazir. At the end of the latest episode, Brody is taken into custody, a black bag over his head. So how did that happen?

On his way back from Beirut, Saul is stopped by security forces at the airport. After being brought into a private room, a very c...

And it just keeps getting better! Last week’s episode of Homeland was a fantastic opening for the Emmy-winning series’ second season. The second episode, though, took things to a whole new level of awesome. Titled “Beirut Is Back,” the entire 50 minutes is constant anticipation and suspense, putting the characters in dangerous situations that could either go really good or really bad. The writers of Homeland have definitely stepped up their game for the sophomore season and viewers are likely to have a roller coaster ride for the next few months.

Claire Danes may already be queuing hersel...

After several much-deserved Emmy wins (for Lead Actor and Lead Actress in a Drama Series as well as for best Drama Series), Homeland proved that their freshman season was not a fluke with last night’s explosive opener to Season Two. After a mind-scrambling first season that had more twists and turns than any modern television series, Homeland promises more action and excitement as the war for America’s safety comes right to our doorstep. The episode itself was fantastic and sets up a wide range of stories that could develop throughout this season.

Picking up a few months after Season One ...

Actress Claire Danes braved security concerns to shoot Emmy Award-winning series Homeland in Israel.

The cast and crew of the hit drama normally shoot in North Carolina, but they filmed several episode of the the show's first season in the Middle East, where the TV series Prisoners of War - which inspired Homeland - was based.

However, because Israel doubled for Iran on location - and both nations are currently on the brink of war due to weapons conflicts and Iran's refusal to recognise Israel as a country, creator Alex Gansa admits cast and crew were often under threat of imminent danger...

Hit TV drama Homeland played spoiler at the Emmy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday night, preventing Mad Men and Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston from boasting ceremony records.

The first season of the show picked up four awards at the Nokia Theatre, including Outstanding Drama Series and lead acting awards for stars Damian Lewis and Claire Danes.

Lewis prevented Cranston from tying Dennis Franz's four best actor awards record and the show's win stalled Mad Men, which was shut out on Sunday night, from claiming a record-breaking fifth trophy for Outstanding Drama Series.

Homeland star David Harewood was left feeling "unnerved" after a lunch meeting with a real-life CIA agent turned into a fully-fledged interrogation.

The actor talked to a female secret agent to research his role as Central Intelligence Agency boss David Estes in the hit TV drama, but admits he failed to keep his cool and ended up telling her all his secrets.

He recalls, "It was supposed to be me pumping her for information. Instead, I suspect I told her far more about myself than I wanted to - or realized I was doing. If I'd been a terrorist, she would have had a confession out of me wi...

The first season of "Homeland" revolved around U.S. Marine Sergeant Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis), who turned up 10 years after going missing during the invasion of Baghdad. CIA agent Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes) stopped at nothing to prove he was a traitor - including sleeping with him to gain his trust.

In the final episode, Carrie's erratic behavior results in her getting fired from the intelligence agency, and she is about to have electroshock therapy to manage her bipolar disorder. Just as she's about to go under, she remembers an important key detail. During a night together at he...

Claire Danes walked away from the chance to reteam with her Romeo + Juliet co-star Leonardo DiCaprio for last year's J. Edgar to take the lead in TV smash Homeland.

The actress auditioned for the role of secretary Helen Gandy in the movie about former FBI director J. Edgar Hoover on the same weekend she was offered the opportunity to star as CIA officer Carrie Mathison - and she opted for the TV drama because the part was so "compelling".

Danes has signed up for seven seasons of Homeland and is convinced she made the right decision about the roles.

She tells Britain's GQ magazine, "Se...

You know the feeling. Everyone at the office talks about how great (insert TV show here) was, and you don't watch it. By the time you figure out how good the show is, it's too late to catch up.

Well, there's still time to watch some of last season's popular shows on DVD, Netflix, on demand or online, particularly if they're only half-hour comedies or 10-episode seasons.

First, check out AMC's "The Walking Dead." As the show progresses, more people are tuning in. About 9 million viewers tuned in to see the second season finale in March - 50 percent more than those who watched the first sea...

Homeland, Sherlock and Community were among the big winners at the Critics' Choice Television Awards on Monday night.

Political thriller Homeland won best drama, while its star Claire Danes was crowned best actress at the second annual prizegiving held at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles.

Claire Danes was given a crash course in CIA surveillance techniques when she met with a real-life spook while researching her role in Homeland.

The actress plays Central Intelligence Agency operative Carrie Mathison in the hit TV show, and told earlier this month how she fleshed out the character by holding talks with an actual secret agent.

Now, she's opened up about their meetings in Virginia and Washington, D.C., revealing the unnamed female agent gave her hints and tips on spying techniques.

Danes tells The Sunday Times Magazine, "We had lunch in D.C. and the first thing I notice...

Claire Danes was given the chance to meet the real life CIA agent who inspired her character in Homeland and even visited her at work.

The actress plays Central Intelligence Agency operative Carrie Mathison in the hit TV show and she reveals the character is based on a real woman who works for the covert agency.

Danes, who refuses to name the agent, was able to meet her at the CIA headquarters in Virginia and see what goes on behind the scenes at the highly secretive organization.

She tells Britain's S magazine, "Obviously I can't say who it is, but I met her and she took me to CIA he...

Homeland star Damian Lewis has been invited to the White House for dinner with President Barack Obama.

The British actor revealed last month the politician is a huge fan of the drama series, and now it has emerged Lewis and his wife are heading to Washington, D.C. next week to share a meal with Obama and First Lady Michelle.

Lewis tells U.K. chat show host Graham Norton, "It turns out it is his favorite show. But the big news is that he has invited me to the White House for dinner."

"I am going with Helen my wife to dinner next Wednesday. I am going to fly to Washington, have dinner a...

ABC's Happy Endings is celebrating Valentine's Day early - and giving us the gift of James Wolk as Max's (Adam Pally) ex-boyfriend, Grant.

Best known as the lead on FOX's critically acclaimed but very short-lived Lone Star, James recently dropped by to talk about what it's like to work on a show that you're a fan of and what he thinks of the holiday.

What attracted you to this character?

I was a fan of the show prior to being on it. I had just finished working on a play and we started to talk to the Happy Endings folks. There was interest from both sides, which was exciting, because ...
