Homeland Season 5 Scoop: A Massive Time Jump and Carrie No Longer a CIA Officer
The team behind Homeland dropped a bombshell on fans Friday night at PaleyFest when asked about the upcoming fifth season.
Alex Gansa,
the co-creator of the acclaimed Showtime drama, revealed during the
panel that the upcoming season will "jump two-and-a-half years" in the
future. "We are going to be shooting the show in Europe, probably in
Germany, and Carrie will no longer be an intelligence officer," he said.
Claire Danes, who stars as Carrie and executive-produces, joked, "She's making beer."
This past season of Homeland, widely viewed as a reboot of the series following the death of main character Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis) at the end of Season 3, was shot largely in South Africa.
Gansa
would not drop any further hints about the new season, but one of the
hot talking points was the future of the Carrie-Quinn (Rupert Friend)
dynamic following their passionate lip-lock late in Season 4. Gansa
admitted there was a "tremendous" amount of debate among the writers
about putting those characters together.
Danes said that she and
Friend were "a little jumpy at the start of the season" and wanted to
make sure the pairing wasn't just born out of "desperation" for a
romantic story line in the post-Brody era.
