Homeland<\/a> is having a bit of a streaming comeback, but the chatter about The Game<\/a> returning has gotten muddled. The series reportedly coming back isn\u2019t the BBC\u2019s 2014 Cold War drama The Game. It\u2019s Channel 5\u2019s newer thriller, which happens to have the same title.<\/p>\n

Showtime\u2019s Homeland aired from 2011 to 2020 and ran for eight seasons<\/strong>. Its post-9\/11 story follows CIA officer Carrie Mathison, played by Claire Danes, as she investigates Nicholas Brody, a U.S. POW played by Damian Lewis who may have been turned. The show still lands because of the paranoia running through it and the psychological pressure it puts on everyone involved.<\/p>\n\n

Critics stayed on its side, too. Homeland holds an 85% score on Rotten Tomatoes overall, with season 1 at 100% and season 8 at 85%, according to Rotten Tomatoes.<\/p>\n\n

Some of the renewed attention comes from the larger spy-TV wave. Slow Horses<\/a> is sitting at 100%<\/strong>, Ponies at 94%, again according to Rotten Tomatoes, and The Agency is back as well. Homeland also has the extra draw of being adapted from Gideon Raff\u2019s Prisoners of War, before Raff went on to The Spy and The Red Sea Diving Resort.<\/p>\n\n

If you\u2019ve burned through the newer espionage hits and want something else in that lane, Homeland is still a very solid pick.<\/p>\n\n

As for The Game, the BBC\u2019s 2014 version, a six-part Cold War drama that was canceled in 2015, isn\u2019t the one coming back.<\/p>\n\n

The renewed series is Channel 5\u2019s 2025 psychological thriller The Game, starring Jason Watkins and Robson Green. Reports say season 2 is already filming for a late-2026<\/strong> return on Channel 5, followed by an early-2027 run on BritBox.<\/p>\n\n

And that \u201c8-part\u201d description probably refers to Ponies, the eight-episode spy drama set in 1977 Moscow<\/strong>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
