"Homeland" season 5 spoilers revealed there will be a dramatic shift of location when it comes to the job of Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes).
Although there is a change in settings, the Showtime political drama will not veer away from tackling the latest events just like the past season.
People are astound with how relevant the plot is in past "Homeland" seasons, like POWs, civil wars in Middle East, and more.
That is the same thing they will do this season. There is no clear plot yet but according to recent "Homeland" season 5 spoilers, it will tackle Russia and Vladimir Putin.
The show will also touch the issues concerning ISIS and other Muslim extremists. How the writers do it? That is by being updated on world events and incorporating them into the story. They do it with the help of real intelligence from Washington and CIA.
"Well, before we start in the writing room, all the writers, and Claire and Mandy, go to Washington, D.C., and we hole up in a little old CIA club there," showrunner Alex Gansa said in an interview with Deadline.
"We entertain a parade of intelligence officers-current and former-State Department people, White House staffers, and we get a real sense of what people are talking about in Washington. Those meetings taking place over a week so heavily influence the show so that some people think, "Oh my god, you guys are so prescient, things that appear on Homeland the next week will appear in the newspaper."
Gansa also shared "Homeland" season 5 spoiler regarding their plans in Berlin.
"It's largely because we've heard about them before everybody else has when we're sitting in D.C. And you're right, a lot of the conversation when we were there this past January had to do with the Islamic state, the deteriorating condition in Syria and Iraq. It also had a lot to do with Russia and Vladimir Putin. And the season this year will reflect both those problem areas. And if you notice, (Season 5 location) Berlin is kind of right between both those places."
"Homeland" season 5 premiere is on Oct. 4.
