Homeland Season 5 Spoilers: Showtime Series Will Feature Time Jump

Showtime's Homeland is in between Seasons 4 and 5 right now, but the spy series will be back with its fifth season before we know it. But the show will have almost a completely different look when it returns for Season 5.

Season 4 changed locations by moving from the U.S. to Pakistan, but Season 5 plans to travel through time! "There's going to be a time jump of a few years," showrunner Chip Johannessen tells E! News.

"It's going to be at least two years later and so many things will have changed for Carrie," showrunner Alex Carey tells E! News. "She's a mother, and most notably, she's not in the CIA anymore. She has a new purpose and passion and I can probably tease that that's not going to last long. She's going to have a relationship with German intelligence, and that's going to be one of the more interesting relationships this season because they are an ally, but it's a pretty rocky relationship regardless."

Star Claire Danes tells the site she is excited to see how the time jump affects her character.

"I think the idea is that she's left the CIA, she's utterly disenchanted and isolated, and during those intervening years, she's acquired an actual life, which she's maybe never had before," sge said. "That will be interesting, to see her in that context, to be in a relationship, to actually be committed to her child, to have friends. We really have never seen her be relatively normal and social. I mean, I'm sure that will be completely ruined two episodes in!"

Yes, that's correct. Carrie Mathison will be dedicated to the child that she almost drowned early in Season 4 and has almost completely neglected.

"She has come into her own with motherhood," showrunner Meredith Stiehm says. "She's grown up. Instead of her being the problem child, she's now the mother, she's lost her father, and she's grown into the adult of the family. The rockiness of being a mother happens to a lot of women, and they get through it after a couple years so Carrie is in a good place now."

And what about Carrie and Quinn (Rupert Friend), who kissed in the Season 4 finale?

"Carrie and Quinn have parted ways after they came together in the finale," Stiehm says. "Quinn was actually really ready to try things, but Carrie sabotaged it, and I think she regrets that. She tried to get him back and he was gone, so she knows she screwed that up. It's two years later, and they've both moved on to other things. But something's always in the air and when they cross paths again, we'll see what happens. I'm excited to see where their paths cross."
