Whats going to make this season worth the wait?
CLAIRE DANES:I know not that much about it.

Weve gotten a few outlines.
We have a general sense of where its going.
Can you shine any light on that dynamic?
Will the ingoing and outgoing presidents bear any resemblance to the current ingoing and outgoing leadership in the country?
DANES:I definitely think so, yes!
Not just the presidential election, but also everything thats going on globally.

Where do you see Carrie emotionally as we leave season 5 and head into the next chapter?
DANES: Shes pretty ravaged, you know, by the end.

GLATTER: I think one of the reasons, directorially, is that we recreate the show every year.
Its never the same show.
Its a new show, its a new crew, and its new content.
I feel like Im always on the edge of my seat.
