The Season 4 finale of Showtime's Homeland aired Sunday night, which means fans can now look ahead to Season 5 and consider what's in store for Carrie, Saul, Quinn, and the rest.
WARNING: TURN BACK NOW IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE FINALE
The finale took place in the United States of America after a season that occurred almost entirely in Pakistan. The slower paced episode ended when Carrie learned that Saul had taken Dar Adal's offer to return to the CIA at the cost of letting Haqqani go free.
But what will Season 5 look like? Will it take place in America or elsewhere? Showtime president David Nevins spoke on this subject with EW.com.
"I don't think they've settled on anything," he said. "[Showrunner] Alex [Gansa] is always very adamant he wants to focus on nothing but the season in front of him. But certainly going somewhere else overseas-they're not going back to Pakistan-is one possibility."
Nevins also spoke about the divisive finale.
"We went out of season three with this massive ending, with the death of Brody. And I think a show with this amount of political and narrative complexity can do a last episode that has a change of pace. I thought they needed to do an episode back in Washington, and needed to deal with Carrie's family situation and her issues with motherhood. And there needed to be a political conclusion, too, not just an action conclusion.
The season had some great action, but at its core it was really a political thriller about America's place in the world, and how difficult that position is in the 21st century. This season is very much about how America deals with the Muslim world, and what it means that Dar Adal was sitting in the back seat as Haqqani was taking his victory lap in Islamabad. When I first saw it, I told [showrunner Alex Gansa] it was one of the show's most beautiful episodes."
