Homeland may SCRAP Muslim storyline after Charlie Hebdo attacks [View all]



The U.S television show Homeland may not feature a Muslim storyline in its next season, it has been revealed.

A new threat could be chosen in the fifth season ‘for creative reasons’ – and not because of the deadly attack on the headquarters of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris last week.

Each of the first four seasons of Homeland have featured fictional Middle East terrorists and Muslim extremists.

But producers are considering moving away from the format and finding a new target for CIA case officer Carrie Mathison - played by Claire Danes - when the show makes a return to screens later this year.

According to insidetv, the attacks in France last week will not play a part in deciding who the story’s next villain will be and will not prevent producers from tackling sensitive issues.

Personally, I hope they don't.
