Robinson, who played Brody and Abu Nazir’s go-between Roya Hammad on Homeland, will portray Bianca, a D.C. power player who is one of the capitol’s most formidable defense attorneys. With the help of Bianca’s legal acumen, Arthur (Peter Gallagher) plans to combat allegations that could damage the Campbells’ legacy.
