Claire Danes as Carrie in Homeland.
Prior to next season’s premiere in September, the “Homeland” creators announced during Paleyfest recently that season 5 will be different from the rest of the other seasons, according to a report in Variety.
The first revelation is that the show’s main character, CIA Intelligence Officer Carrie Mathieson, will no longer be in the CIA. Two years has passed since she left the service and in the process, she has established a new life, is in a relationship, has friends and most importantly is trying to be a good mother to her child. This much was shared by Claire Danes in an E! Online report.
The second revelation is the setting of the new season. According to showrunner Alex Gansa, the show is set to shoot in Europe in the coming months, particularly Germany. Season four was shot in Cape Town, South Africa, in replacement for Afghanistan which was the real story setting in the season.
In relation to the new setting, Danes also teased in the E! Online report that Carrie will eventually develop a relationship with German intelligence as the season progresses which she also called “one of the more interesting relationships this season.”
Speculations were also abound about whether there will be a “Quinn-Carrie dynamic” in season 5, after the unlikely pair shared a kiss in the previous season. The creators were vague about how this will progress but were quick to add that it polarized the show’s writers because some were not in favor of the pairing.
The show’s season five was renewed by Showtime in November 2014, a month before season four broadcast its season finale. Season one to three ran from 2011 to 2013.
The series was developed based on Gideon Raff’s Israeli series called “Hatufim” or “Prisoners of War.” It is produced by Fox21.
