(CNN) — Things are wrapping up for "Homeland."

The show's star, Claire Danes, confirmed to Howard Stern Wednesday that Season 8 will be the last for the hit Showtime series.

"Yeah that's it," Danes said when Stern brought up chatter that the series was ending.

"Homeland's" Season 7 finale is set to air on April 29.

The actress said she's ready to let go of her character, Carrie Mathison, counterterrorism expert with bipolar disorder who has endured a great deal through the years.

"She's a lot, this Carrie freakin' Mathison," Danes said. "I'll be ready for a reprieve from that."

Danes also shared some personal news.

"I am pregnant," she told Stern. "I am deep into my second trimester."

It will be a second child for Danes and her husband, actor Hugh Dancy.
