'Homeland' Season 6 Spoilers: Producer says Quinn 'Has A Good Chance Of Coming Back'
"Homeland" executive producer Howard Gordon has just dropped a major Season 6 spoiler that will please many of the political thriller series' fans.
During Gordon's panel for "Second Chance," his new series at Fox, at the recent Television Critics Association's press tour, the "Homeland" producer said, "I will say that Quinn, who is extraordinary … has a good chance of coming back."
"The way we're thinking about bringing him back — if he does come back — is really exciting to me personally," Gordon told The Hollywood Reporter.

The "Homeland" EP's comment mirrored that of Gary Levine, Showtime's President of Programming, who told the press at a TCA panel last week that Quinn will be "severely damaged." "If he should live, it will not be in any way, shape or form the way he has lived to date," he said.
The fate of Quinn (Rupert Friend) was left in question at the end of "Homeland's" fifth season, with the character looking lifeless in a hospital bed and Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes) reading a letter that Quinn wrote for her, to be opened in the event of his death.
In Season 5, Quinn, an assassin and CIA operative, was captured by a jihadist group and poisoned with sarin gas. Luckily, Qasim (Alireza Bayram), one of the jihadists, was able to inject him with an antidote that would limit the effects of the sarin gas before Quinn was placed in the gas chamber. Afterwards, Carrie and Astrid (Nina Hoss) were able to locate him and bring him to the hospital.
"Especially when you're talking about a young man who is so physically vibrant," Gordon commented, "we really put him through the ringer."
It has been previously reported that the new season of Showtime's popular series will be set in New York City.
The sixth season of "Homeland" will air later this year.
