There’s a deadly new threat in the Middle East. Get set for another season of edge-of-your-seat drama as Showtime’s Emmy® and Golden Globe® winning series Homeland, returns to Super Channel, Canada’s only national English pay-television network, with two back-to back episodes, Sunday, October 5th, beginning at 9 p.m. ET, day and date with its U.S. premiere.
Crack CIA agent Carrie Mathison (Emmy® and Golden Globe® winner Claire Danes) plays by her own rules when it comes to protecting the U.S. from terrorist attacks. Her uncanny intuition, dogged determination, and gift for persuasion helped her identify Nicholas Brody (Damien Lewis) as a terrorist and convert him to an ally. She also headed the operation to capture and kill al-Qaeda mastermind Abu Nazir, and turned the man responsible for the CIA bombing, Majid Javadi, into an invaluable U.S. asset. Along the way, she fell in love with Brody and became pregnant with his child, which made his arrest and execution at the end of last season, that much more traumatic for her.
Season four, filmed entirely on location in South Africa, will find Carrie assigned to one of the most volatile and dangerous CIA stations in the Middle East where she is back on the front lines in the war on terror. Now with a baby to raise, Carrie is forced to make difficult choices about the direction she wants her life to take. Meanwhile, Saul Berenson, (Emmy® and Tony® Award winner Mandy Patinkin) Carrie’s long-time, no-nonsense mentor, has been forced into retirement. Will he be able to stay in the intelligence game and keep tabs on his protégé while working for a private security firm in New York?
Along with Danes and Patinkin, Emmy nominee Rupert Friend will return for season four, along with F. Murray Abraham, Sarita Choudhury, Tracy Letts and Nazanin Boniadi. Laila Robins joins the cast this season as series regular, Martha Boyd, U.S Ambassador to Pakistan, and Corey Stoll guest stars as a CIA station chief in Islamabad.
Homeland was developed for American television by Alex Gansa & Howard Gordon, and based on the original Israeli series Prisoners of War (available on Super Channel) by Gideon Raff. Along with Gansa, Gordon and Raff, the executive producers for season four are Chip Johannessen, Alex Cary, Avi Nir and Ran Telem. The series is distributed by 20th Century Fox Television.
Viewers can get caught up on all the dramatic twists and turns of the previous season, with the Homeland Season 3 Marathon – Saturday, Oct 4 and Sunday Oct 5 beginning at 1 p.m. ET. Season 3 is also available on Super Channel on Demand until November 30, 2014.
