Homeland EP/Director Lesli Linka Glatter On Fake News-Themed Season 6 | Deadline

Quote:

Lesli Linka Glatter is a rare female director to consistently land drama directing Emmy nominations in a male-dominated field where no woman has won in 23 years.

The Homeland executive producer and director, who earned her seventh nomination Thursday for the beloved Showtime staple, touched on the mid-season shift that occurred following the election of President Donald Trump, and the resonance the thriller holds for today’s viewer.

“There was a shift in the middle of the season. I certainly, personally, didn’t expect Donald Trump to win the presidency, but there were many things that were still in the works about the storytelling—like, fake news—those things were already going,” Glatter explains. “I actually, in the moment, was a little concerned—had we gone too far? Of course, what we end up finding is that we didn’t go nearly far enough. Or the truth is stranger than anything one could come up with.”

“For me, one of the things that’s exciting about being involved with this show is that we change the show every season—it’s never the same show—and that it’s very related to things we’re currently asking,” she adds. “I don’t think it supplies any answers, but it illuminates and, in a certain way, makes us ask more questions, or see things in a different way.”

Filming on Season 7 of Homeland is set to begin in Central Virginia this fall for a 2018 premiere.

Mandy always deserves to be nominated but I'm quite surprised that both Claire & Rupert got snubbed, especially Claire since the Emmys love nominating her.

Maybe she already won, but it was nice to see others.. But I didn't think of that..

I feel really bad for Rupert because that was his last season and now he can't be nominated for the show anymore.

**fly me to the moon** · 07-16-2017, 10:50 AM

I know, same here.. I tho that he would get one..

***L i N d $ @ y*** · 07-16-2017, 09:04 PM

Me too.

At least Claire can still be nominated for next year...

Disappointed he didn't get an nomination since he really deserved one imo.

**fly me to the moon** · 07-17-2017, 09:09 AM

Same here and maybe that can happen in next year..

But Rupert Friend won't be on the show anymore next year and therefore won't be nominated.

stlavin95 · 07-18-2017, 02:06 AM

That sucks, I will really miss him

I always assume that they nominated him from last season bec I recognized some shows that happen in last year??

Nope, it's for S6. For this category (the tweet below), the director was nominated for an episode from S6.

Thought so. Thanks for that, at least it got nominated for something.
