'Homeland' Finds Its Female President in 'House of Cards' Star
TV

The 'Homeland' President-Elect in the upcoming sixth season is announced to be portrayed by Elizabeth Marvel.

AceShowbiz - "Homeland" has found the right actress to play the U.S. female president for the upcoming season 6. "House of Cards" star Elizabeth Marvel has just been announced to play Elizabeth Keane, a New York Senator on the rise to the presidency.

While Keane's story seems to be similar to Hillary Clinton's, Claire Danes previously said that the character would not be based on the Democratic nominee. " 'Homeland's' new president will not be a thinly veiled Hillary Clinton figure but rather 'a composite of all the different candidates,' " she explained.

The actress described the TV president as a politician who "challenges the norms (and) is a little scary for that reason." She also revealed that the female commander-in-chief "gets along with Carrie Mathison pretty well," seemingly hinting at Carrie's return to a governmental position.
