With "Homeland" season 5 premiere arriving near, fans are still scrambling to learn more about the show's return.
The HBO political series changed location for second consecutive seasons. This means new storyline, new characters waiting for fans.
The past seasons of "Homeland" were praised for its realistic plot. Although there is a major shift in location, the show will stick to what it have done before.
In fact, in "Homeland" season 5 premiere, what the audience will see is a re-telling of the relationship between the United States and Russia.
"The first episode's going to real deal with Russia, being right next to Russia - what's Putin up to? What's going on with this tricky relationship there?" Nevins told during the Television Critics Association's press tour held on Tuesday.
"It deals with ISIS. [Homeland producers have] shown the ability to have a new fresh story. I feel like this story is a very fresh story. It's themes, I think, will resonate with people. Charlie Hebdo. [NSA leaker Edward] Snowden. It's interesting elements to this season that brings a lot of things together. As long as they keep it fresh, it's a show that's never the same season after season."
"Homeland" season 5 premiere is of course just the tip of the ice berg. The whole season will be as intense as the first four seasons and as realistic as the plots in its fourth run.
"Homeland" executive producer Alex Gansa seconded Nevins' revelation about the new season.
"It's going to touch [ISIS]," he said. "It's going to touch all those things. It's a show that reflects the world that we live in. We'll see. I feel very confident with what their doing."
"Homeland" season 5 premiere episode will air on October 4. The show stars Claire Danes as Carrie Mathsion, Mandy Patinkin as Saul Berenson, and Rupert Friend as Peter Quinn.
