How to Watch ‘Homeland’ Online – Live Stream Season 8

By Gabriela Vatu / February 9, 2020

It's been about two years since Homeland has been on air and people are more than excited to finally see how this story wraps up as the final season is set to premiere. We are going to watch Homeland online and want you to join us in finding out how you can do this as well.

Homeland has been a total rollercoaster along the seven seasons that have aired so far, with its main characters going through so many adventures, and with the situation changing constantly along with the dynamic between main character Carrie Mathison, played by Claire Danes, and her coworkers, love interests, and so on. Mathison’s life itself went through so many changes over the seasons, so everyone is eager to see what happens next.

The eighth and final season will see Saul (played by Mandy Patinkin), who’s now a National Security Advisor at the White House, sent to Afghanistan to open discussions with the Taliban for peace. Carrie will help him out, as she recovers from her imprisonment in a Russian gulag.

When and Where to Watch Homeland?

Homeland’s eighth season is premiering on Showtime Sunday, February 9th, starting with 9 PM. The season will feature 12 episodes exactly like the ones before it, and we will see the finale on April 26th unless something happens to derail the season for any reason, but that should not be the case.

Can I Live Stream Homeland?

Homeland is a show that was created by Showtime so you're going to watch it over on the Network's website. Showtime itself is a premium service that comes with a 7-day free trial that you can enjoy to test out the platform before committing for a full subscription. So start out your free trial on Showtime now!

If you're going to watch Homeland online, then you need to know that all new episodes become available on the platform at the same time they air on TV for regular cable subscribers. There are a couple of ways that you can watch Showtime, which is through the Showtime Anytime app, for which you will need credentials from a TV provider or through the regular Showtime app for which you’ll get to sign up directly.

The Showtime apps work on pretty much any platforms you have at home including Fire TV, and TV, Apple TV, smart TVs from LG and Samsung, Chromecast, Roku, Xbox One, as well as iOS and Android smartphones and tablets. You can also check everything out using your browser. (Note: Showtime is a service that only works in the United States, so if you're going to travel anywhere else in the world you will need a VPN to unblock the content.

How to Watch Homeland When Traveling Outside of the United States?

When you travel the world, there are some restrictions on the things you can watch depending on the services you use. In our case, Showtime will only allow you to watch the content over in the United States, regardless of which of the options we mentioned above you chose. This happens because the license can only cover certain areas and the companies can then resale the rights to broadcast Homeland in other countries as well. Either way, the problem with this matter is that when you travel the world you lose access to these platforms, and you can only overcome this if you change your IP address so that it would appear you are back in the United States.

Thankfully, doing this is super easy when you use a VPN and we can recommend ExpressVPN, which is a really cool tool that has thousands of servers all over the world, including dozens in the United States. The fact that it also features some really great encryption protocols to help protect your data is even better.

Here's how you can use ExpressVPN to bypass the geo-blockade:

Can I Watch Homeland on the Network's Website?

In a similar manner to HBO, Showtime adds the new episodes to their online platform when they start airing on TV. Therefore, you can watch Homeland on the Showtime website as long as you have an active subscription to them, either directly or through one of the TV providers.

Can I Binge-watch Homeland?

You most certainly can do this because Showtime is a platform where you will easily find all the Homeland episodes that have aired so far, and all the ones that will air from now on till the end. The great news is that you can also watch Homeland on Hulu if you have a subscription with the streaming service.

Can I Purchase Homeland Episodes?

This is something that you can easily do because episodes or full seasons of Homeland can be enjoyed by purchasing them from platforms like Google Play, YouTube, iTunes, Microsoft Store, Amazon Prime, or Vudu. You should also make sure to check them all out and see if they have any deals available for you so you can save some money.
