The 2016 election has been one long, national nightmare — in real life and in fiction.

Showtime unveiled the first trailer for season 6 of "Homeland," which sees Carrie (Claire Danes) return from overseas to work for a Muslim aid organization in New York. Last we saw Carrie, she was living in Berlin as a security consultant for a billionaire philanthropist and helped the CIA avert a major terrorist attack.

The season takes place between a presidential election and the inauguration — a "strange, transitional time in the halls of government filled with anxiety and different competing interests." Hmm, sounds a little too close to the truth!
