Homeland executive Howard Gordon has hinted at events in season two and considers it ‘remarkable’.
The hit psychological drama - which stars Claire Danes and Damian Lewis - will return to US cable channel Showtime in September and is expected to follow soon afterwards on RTÉ Two.
"Season two is going to start about five or six months after season one ended," Gordon told The Hollywood Reporter.
"Carrie (Danes) will not be in the intelligence service, and the world will be at a boiling point. There will be some new antagonists, definitely."
Homeland recently began shooting, with filming taking place in Israel. "It was remarkable," said Gordon. "We doubled it as Beirut.”
Gordon also gave a broad sweep of where season two is going in terms of plotlines, as it moves from season one’s focus on Damian Lewis’ Brody as a possible terrorist.
"We're really looking at where the world is, what's happening in the Middle East right now, and that's going to be a major departure point from the first season."
