Although that only looks in the teaser, we do not know what her mental condition is?

Homeland Season 8: Plot Details

Previously, the official synopsis for Homeland Season 8 has been out. According to that, Carrie Mathison will work on her recovery from her long, harsh imprisonment in a Russian Gulag. Though she might recover physically, her memory would still be infected. This will be pretty devastating for her mentor, Saul. Meanwhile, Saul will be appointed as the National Security Advisor to the newly elected President Warner (Beau Bridges).

President Warner will then aim to bring the endless war in Afghanistan to an end. For that, he will assign Saul to produce peace negotiations with the Taliban. However, things will not go as plan, and Saul will eventually ask Carrie to help him get through this big mess. Also, the eighth season is going to start fresh and probably do a fairly big time jump between seasons 7 and 8 and put any parallels behind.

The show was initially scheduled to be out in the past June. However, due to the delayed schedule, the release date for Season 8 has moved ahead. Now, the eighth season of Emmy-winning drama will be out on February 9, 2020, on Showtime.
