Homeland - Season 7 - Moving to Virginia

“Homeland” has settled on Virginia as the filming location for its seventh season.

The drama series starring Claire Danes and Mandy Patinkin will begin lensing in the Richmond area in the fall for a 2018 debut, Showtime and Fox 21 Television Studios said Tuesday.

“Homeland” showrunner Alex Gansa gave no hints about the storyline for upcoming season in announcing the decision to stay in the U.S., following the New York City setting for Season 6.

“We’re thrilled to bring the production of ‘Homeland’ to the great state of Virginia. Its cities and neighborhoods and people will surely provide a rich backdrop for our story, and we in turn aim to provide a small but hopefully significant boost to the local economy,” Gansa said.

With the move, the show will be eligible to receive a film tax credit and grant from the state. The exact amount is unknown but will be based on the number of Virginia workers hired, goods and services purchased in-state and deliverables, including Virginia tourism promotions. Virginia is the only state to offer both a tax credit and a grant as part of its film incentives program. The state gives back 15 percent of qualified production spending (20 percent for filming in economically distressed areas), plus 10 percent on resident labor (or 20 percent if the project spending exceed $1 million. A discretionary grant also available.
