"Homeland" is set to return with a new season on Oct. 05, 2014. The Season 4 will see Carrie in Pakistan-Afghanistan region as a field operative. She is overseeing a drone strike program. Carrie will be leaving behind her new born baby, with her sister, to be on her new assignment. The last season saw the public execution of Brody in Iran. The death of Brody has triggered the question whether the new season will show Carrie Mathison and Peter Quinn's romance.

As Carrie is coming to terms with the death of Brody and will be juggling two responsibilities, as a mother and as a CIA agent, it is unlikely that she will plunge into another romance straightaway. However, Quinn is going to be there for her, supporting and protecting her. The behind the scenes (BTS) video provides a glimpse of Quinn welcoming Carrie to Pakistan. The preview of the upcoming new season shows Quinn protecting Carrie from the blood-thirsty mob, surrounding their vehicle. He is pointing a gun at them. Quinn is also seen bashing up someone in the preview video. The brief official synopsis reveals that "Quinn spirals out of control" in episode 2, which is titled "Trylon and Perisphere."

Speaking about the possibility of Carrie and Quinn's romance, Alex Gansa, showrunner of "Homeland," had said to TV Line: "I think if there is romantic energy between them it's at a very nascent state ... Carrie's emotions have been engaged elsewhere, so it's unclear how she feels about him. I think it's pretty clear how he feels about her. But whether Carrie Mathison is going to be emotionally available for a romantic entanglement is another question entirely."

Meanwhile, according to TV Guide spoiler report, Brody's spectre is expected to make an appearance at some point in the episode. Also, Saul returns in the premiere episode and is seen in the preview video, telling Carrie about a video that has gone viral online. It is the video of a drone attack at a wedding ceremony.

The shooting of "Homeland" Season 4 has taken place in Cape Town, South Africa. The new season picks up six months after Season 3 finale. The premiere episode is titled "The Drone Queen." Carrie will be in Kabul as the station chief, according to the premiere episode synopsis. "Carrie will makes a critical decision. A disgraced former case officer is going to reveal information."
