Elizabeth Marvel is enjoying some political vindication, courtesy of Homeland.
The actress — whose House of Cards character Heather Dunbar made an unsuccessful bid for the White House — has been cast as Homeland‘s first female President of the United States, to be featured in upcoming Season 6, TVLine has learned.
Marvel’s character, Elizabeth Keane, is a former junior Senator from New York. She’s bright, charming, lively, and, if the need arises, blunt.
As previously reported, Season 6 will be set (and shot) in New York City, and will take place during the two month period between Election Day and the swearing in of the new POTUS. “There is this strange period in America where there are 72 days when it’s not exactly clear who’s in charge, and there is a new president that needs to be educated on what it means to be president,” Alex Gansa previously told EW.com. “That is a very complex transfer of power filled with all kinds of anxiety and different competing interests… it’s a dangerous time in our democracy.”
In addition to House of Cards, Marvel has had recurring roles on Law & Order: SVU,Person of Interest and Fargo Season 2.

Will she be issuing instructions from the Office of the President-Elect?
The real news is that the incumbent lost the election
Yeah, well they can go #### themselves cause this time life ain’t imitating art.
And that butch freak hillary may or may not be a woman
Hillary has no shame. Even Josef Stalin would have been embarrassed by this fawning adulation.
thanx for the warning.
I’ll be sure to never watch this indoctrination
Well, “charming” and “lively” are not two words that I would associate with HRC.
Can’t be right Elizabeth Keen is a former FBI agent on the run with Red Reddington.
CNN is absolutely sickening in the Hillary bootlicking today.
Gonna feel silly when their fictional president is nothing like the real president.
Pulling these sorts of deliberate PROPAGANDA stunts is why we need to hammer the "entertainment" industry with mulit-billion dollar fines.
Los Angeles has been deliberately warping our culture, and it translates into political power. They are interfering with elections by brainwashing the stupid part of the electorate with their fake realities.
The Media is the real enemy.
Is Colbert going to ask them what Hillary’s d*ck tastes like?
Would that that would do any good. The problem is not that you might be swayed by this sort of propaganda, the problem is that so many other people *WILL* be swayed by this sort of propaganda.
When discussing propaganda, I always bring up Jews in the early period of Nazi Germany. It didn't do them any good to refrain from looking at or hearing the anti-Jewish propaganda. The only effective method to deal with it is to *STOP IT!*
We live in a world now where all the means of communication and "entertainment" are completely controlled by Left Wing kookbags intent on abusing these technologies to advance their political ideology.
They have effectively silenced all conservative opinion from reaching the masses. They have effectively barred free speech in our nation by their control of the institutions which own the means of communication with the American Public.
We should be putting 90% of our efforts into smashing the existing communications monopoly rather than arguing about this or that political candidate or this or that policy.
They complain about Trump getting free airtime.
They are stealing the name of the main character in Blacklist
They torture the hot guy all season then kill him off and we are supposed to turn in for this severe looking female president?? I think we’ve seen every facial distortment Clare Danes can make now. Bring Quinn back as a ghost. That would be more realistic than a “Good Hillary.”
Oh, and ghosts do not need to wear shirts.
I quit this show after 3D season. They had a great (plausible) idea that an American POW hero had been turned by al-Qaida, but went off the rails when they ended that story.
Seems to be moving into “24” territory.
I can hardly wait to miss it!
Of course the new season doesn’t actually start airing until January. More wishful thinking than anything else.
