The critically acclaimed drama Homeland stars Claire Danes, who received a Golden Globe® and Emmy® Award for her performance as CIA agent Carrie Mathieson and British favourite, Damian Lewis, also a Golden Globe® and Emmy® Award winner for his role as American soldier Sergeant Nicholas Brody. The series follows Brody's transformation from war hero to suspected sleeper cell operative planning a terrorist atrocity after he returns home from 10 years capture in Iraq.

American Horror Story is the award-winning hit anthology series from creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Fulchuck.

Starring Connie Britton, Dylan McDermott and Oscar® and Emmy® award winning actress Jessica Lange, the series also includes Kate Mara, star of Netflix Original series House of Cards.

The series also stars Sarah Paulson, Joseph Fiennes and Zachary Quinto.
