“Homeland” is coming back for a third season.
Showtime confirmed the Emmy award-winning drama will be back for another 12-episode new season.
No airdate was announced, but the show started its first and second seasons in the fall.
At the 2012 Emmys, the show picked up six awards, including Outstanding Drama series, Outstanding Lead Actress for Claire Danes and Outstanding Actor, for Damien Lewis.
SPOILER! The show surprised viewers this weekend with a dramatic twist in the narrative. Former CIA agent Carrie Matheson (Claire) confronted Congressman Nicholas Brody and revealed the government was aware he had been turned and he previously planned to blow up the Vice President. Brody was arrested at the end of the episode.
The exciting plot twists have caught the attention of celebrity fans, who raved on Sunday night on Twitter about the show.
