Homeland season 4 will likely premiere in September or October.
That’s based on the scheduled for the first three seasons of the popular Showtime show.
All three have premiered in the last week of September or the first two weeks of October.
Adding fuel to that theory is that a possible leaked episode 1 air date on Google pinpoints the date as October 19, 2014.
The show will undergo a dramatic turn because Brody died at the end of season 3.
Showrunner Alex Gansa told TVGuide that there’s probably not going to be a new male lead to replace Brody--the show will instead feature Claire more.
“I think that is all going to squarely land on Claire Danes’ shoulders now,” said Gansa. “It’s really her show, and where Peter Quinn fits into that, where Fara fits into that, and where Saul fits into that is going to be a process of discovery.”
The producers seem set on Carrie moving to Turkey where she'll do what she was trained to do--by a case officer in a foreign country.
“And as she mentioned to Sen. Lockhart, she gets to choose her own people. So Quinn, Fara ... Virgil and possibly Max may come along with her,” said Gansa to TVLine. “We get to bring some of our familiar faces overseas.”
Saul, now a private contractor, will likely be recruited as well.
Season 4 “definitely includes Mandy Patinkin. That I can tell you,” said Gansa.
“And the rationale is, [Saul] is now a private contractor, and the CIA does outsource so much intelligence work to these private contractors. So even though Saul may not have a desk at Langley anymore, his interface with the agency is going to be big.”
