Homeland has treated viewers to a globe-trotting, head-spinning journey over the last decade. Consigned to past seasons are questions over the loyalties of Sergeant Nicolas Brody, so superbly portrayed by Damien Lewis in the first couple of seasons of the critically-acclaimed show. In the final run, clouds of doubt hang over the head of his once lover, CIA super-spook Carrie Mathison – or Claire Danes. Read on and learn how to watch Homeland season 8 online and where to stream the critically acclaimed show no matter where you are in the world.
Homeland season 8 cheat sheet
Homeland season 8 is the final series of the long-running show, which first aired in 2010. It features 12 episodes and was produced by Showtime. Right now, you can get Showtime for FREE with any Sling TV subscription and watch every Homeland episode ever made on demand.
Also still in the frame – and we should issue a minor spoiler alert for those who haven’t watched Homeland before – is Mandy Patinkin’s Saul Berenson and a very well cast Costa Ronin as Russian spy Yevgeny Gromov. He was ultimately behind Carrie’s lengthy spell in a gulag at the end of Homeland season 7 – and many suspect he successfully turned her. Does season 8’s finale give us a satisfactory answer? You’ll have to watch it to find out.
The show is an adaptation of Gideon Raff’s Prisoners of War, which first aired in Israel back in 2010, while Homeland itself has won numerous awards including Emmys and Golden Globes since its release in 2011.
So once you’ve watched all the best Hulu shows and best Netflix movies, jump in and watch Homeland season 8 online or on TV – our guide will explain all the ways you can do this from anywhere in the world.
How to watch Homeland from outside your country
You can watch Homeland season 8 in a number of countries around the world, but if you find yourself stuck abroad during these difficult times, you’re likely to find that geo-blocking prohibits you from accessing your usual streaming services.
There is a solution, however. Downloading a VPN will allow you to watch Homeland online no matter where you are. This neat bit of kit changes your IP address so that you can stream all your favorite shows live or on demand, just like you would from the comfort of your sofa.
The number of VPNs to choose from is dizzying, so let’s cut to the chase: after hours of testing, we recommend ExpressVPN. As well as being fast, simple, and straightforward to install, it’s also compatible with a whole host of devices – Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Xbox, PlayStation, iOS and Android to name some of the main ones.
Plus, ExpressVPN’s flexible 30-day money back guarantee is difficult to argue with. Even better, you can purchase an annual plan for a 49% discount and 3 months extra FREE – a brilliant offer for an essential bit of software.
Once installed, select the location of your home country and simply click connect. You’ll then be able to easily watch Homeland season 8 from pretty much anywhere in the world.

If you like what you see, you can take advantage of a combined Hulu, Disney+ and ESPN+ bundle for just $12.99 a month – though to be clear, you’ll still need to add Showtime as an extra. The same is true of Sling TV, where Showtime is available as an add-on for $10 a month.
You can also get Showtime via Amazon Prime Video, and the channel even offers its own standalone streaming service that costs just $10.99 a month and is completely contract-free – try it for free to see if it’s right for you. Time it right and you’ll be able to watch Homeland for free online, albeit only for the 7-day trial period.
