The ‘Homeland’ Season 5 Trailer Is Here!

Carrie Mathison may have left the CIA and moved abroad, but she remains on the radar of her former agency judging by “Homeland’s” Season 5 trailer.

Premiering October 4 at 9 PM ET/PT on Showtime, Season 5 features a two-year time jump, catching up with a post-CIA Carrie (Claire Danes) who is now living in Berlin, Germany.

From the trailer, which the cabler dropped on Thursday, Carrie seems to be settling into a calmer home life, as she cuddles her daughter with Brody – Frannie — during a birthday party, while new, Season 5 boyfriend Jonas Happich (played by Alexander Fehling) looks at her and smiles.

As for her once-tumultuous work life, that too seems to have calmed down. She’s now the head of security for a German philanthropist named Otto (Sebastian Koch). But, as Carrie explains to an unknown character in the trailer, her boss wants to visit someone in Lebanon, where she appears to travel to with an unnamed character played by “Strike Back’s” Max Beesley.

Back on American soil, Saul (Mandy Patinkin) gets a cell phone alert indicating trouble – a data breach… that just happens to be in Berlin.

When Laura Sutton, a journalist played by Sarah Sokolovic, asks for Carrie’s help to verify the hacked data, a long-range lens captures the two women, and the photos immediately raise suspicions back home. Could Carrie be involved, Saul wonders?

Rupert Friend’s Peter Quinn character is thankfully back too, crossing paths with Saul, and accepting an assassination mission.

The CIA’s Berlin station chief, Allison Carr, played by “Homeland” newcomer Miranda Otto, meets with Saul and Dar Adal (F. Murray Abraham) to tell them, “somebody betrayed us.”

“The only way out… is back in,” appears to be the slogan for the new season.
