Homeland*executive producer Henry*Bromell died Monday of a heart of attack. He was 65.
The acclaimed writer-producer had been part of the Emmy-winning drama’s six-member writing staff since its first season. In addition to a rich résumé, which includes*Northern Exposure, Homicide: Life on the Street, Chicago Hope, Rubicon and Showtime’s Brotherhood, Bromell brought with him personal experience as his father had worked for the CIA."We were lucky to work with Henry on and off for the past 18 years," studio Twentieth Century Fox TV and Fox 21 said in a statement Tuesday morning. "He was a supremely talented writer and as kind and warm a person as you could ever meet. He will be deeply missed at the studio and on Homeland."In recent months, Bromell had been particularly involved in luring new staff members to the Homeland’s writers room ahead of the show’s third season. Among the hires: James Yoshimura, who had worked with Bromell on Homicide during the 1990s.
"We are deeply saddened at the loss of our dear friend Henry Bromell, who has been a part of the Showtime family for over a decade," the premium network said in a statement. "Henry was an immensely talented and prolific writer, director and showrunner, and his work on Brotherhood and Homeland was nothing short of brilliant. His passion, warmth, humor and generosity will be greatly missed. Our hearts and thoughts go out to his wife and family."
Im hoping Homeland isnt going to end up like Dexter becoming weaker and weaker until its totally unwatchable.
