This chapter analyzes Season 4 of the popular Showtime series Homeland as a text performing the cultural work of legitimizing drone warfare in the later stages of the War on Terror, when instead of boots on the ground policies featured in the Iraq and Afghanistan campaigns, the mechanized surveillance and anonymous deployment of lethal weapons on civilian populations is justified as necessary for U.S. security interests. This television drama then becomes a covert justification for the use of drones in the War on Terror and protection of a post-9/11 American homeland security state. The show highlights the lure of drone technology, its illusion of absolute control, and its devastating potential for dehumanizing lives not deemed grievable. There is a fleeting sense of guilt at the cost extracted by drone warfare on civilian populations and the erosion of human rights of non-Americans, but this is quickly cast aside as collateral damage. However, unlike other critics, I read the television drama as often deconstructing its own imperial objectives by revealing the dire consequences of drone warfare not only on countries targeted but also as generating more retribution on the United States instead of winning the War on Terror. Homeland thus inaugurates on television an era of perpetual war, where geographies and characters may change but the cycle of war is continuous.
