"Homeland," the post-9/11 American psychological thriller that has swept television awards, including most recently at Sunday's Golden Globes, could continue to run for years, according to one of its Israeli co-creators. Now two seasons old, "Homeland" won the Golden Globes for Best Drama Series, Best Actor for Damian Lewis, who plays a returning Iraq veteran turned by al-Qaida and Best Actress, for Claire Danes in her role as a bipolar CIA officer. Gideon Raff, whose Israeli television drama "Hatufim" inspired "Homeland" and who co-wrote the U.S. show, said the Danes character could generate several more seasons. "I know that the fact that 'Homeland' has at its center a CIA analyst and her boss could allow it to continue for a good number of years more. It would always be possible to switch cases when a case ends," Raff told Israel's Army Radio on Monday. speaking from the Los Angeles, "As long as we somehow keep our finger on the pulse of the spirit of the times in America, in terms of what interests the audience, I believe it will be okay."
