"Homeland" Season 8: Could Saul Be Carrie's Biggest Threat? [OFFICIAL TRAILER]

Claire Danes' Carrie Mathison is like The Godfather's Michael Corleone times seven. Every time the intelligence expert tries to get out of the business (which is a debate for another day), they pull her back in. In the the eighth and final season of Showtime's Emmy and Golden Globe-winning series Homeland, the "they" turns out to be Mandy Patinkin's Saul. Now National Security Advisor to President Warner (Beau Bridges), Saul needs Carrie's skills one last time for what could prove to be their deadliest mission yet.

What makes it even deadlier is Carrie not knowing if she can trust Saul – and vice-versa…

Here's a look at the official trailer for Homeland, premiering Sunday, February 9, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Showtime:

The final season of HOMELAND finds Carrie Mathison (Danes) recovering from months of brutal confinement in a Russian gulag. Her body is healing, but her memory remains fractured – which is a problem for Saul (Patinkin), now National Security Advisor to the newly ascendant President Warner (Emmy and Golden Globe winner Beau Bridges). The top priority of Warner's young administration is an end to the "forever war" in Afghanistan, and Saul has been dispatched to engage the Taliban in peace negotiations.

But Kabul teems with warlords and mercenaries, zealots and spies – and Saul needs the relationships and expertise that only his protégé can provide. Against medical advice, Saul asks Carrie to walk with him into the lion's den – one last time. Along with Danes and Patinkin, the final season stars Maury Sterling, Linus Roache and Costa Ronin, with Nimrat Kaur and Numan Acar also returning from season four in series regular roles.
