‘That’s always quite an anxious time in America, especially this year when the election has been so bonkers. In our story the new President-Elect, Elizabeth Keane [played by House Of Cards actress Elizabeth Marvel], is a sort of a composite of various people who were in the running, with definitely a bit of Bernie Sanders in that she’s very anti-Establishment.
She revealed that the men in her life help keep her grounded after a stressful day's filming, explaining: ‘It’s good to have Cyrus take me out of all that turmoil, whatever darkness I’ve had during the day. And it works the other way too. Homeland is a wonderfully reassuring thing in our home life.
'Don’t forget that Hugh and I are both freelance artists, which can be very stressful. So Homeland is nice for us to work around – it provides a kind of security to know that every year it’s going to be here.’
