“‘Homeland’ is keeping things in the family for its latest cast addition,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.

THR reports: “The Showtime drama has tapped Hugh Dancy, husband to star Claire Danes, for a multi-episode arc in the upcoming eighth and final season.

“Dancy, one of several new faces for the final season, will play John Zabel — a beltway consultant who joins the new White House as a foreign policy adviser to the president and butts heads with Mandy Patinkin’s Saul Berenson along the way.”

THR also notes that Dancy “comes to ‘Homeland’ after three-season runs on dramas ‘The Path’ and ‘Hannibal.’ He also appears in the upcoming Mindy Kaling feature ‘Late Night.'”
