Homecoming

2018 | Thriller

In a very competitive situation, with production offers from multiple streaming and cable outlets, Amazon has nabbed the hot drama series project Homecoming starring Oscar winner Julia Roberts.

Written by the podcast’s creators Eli Horowitz and Micah Bloomberg and directed by Esmail, Homecoming is a psychological thriller that centers on a caseworker at a secret government facility (Roberts) and a soldier eager to rejoin civilian life.

Presented in a collage of telephone calls, therapy sessions and overheard conversations, the Homecoming podcast had a cast led by Catherine Keener that also included Oscar Isaac, David Schwimmer, Amy Sedaris and David Cross. Keener voiced the caseworker, with Isaac as the soldier.
