We now know for sure that Damian Lewis‘ Nicholas Brody will be back in the third season of Homeland, but new hints have emerged about the nature of the next chapter in the spy thriller’s saga.
On the back of the show’s Golden Globe success, exec producer Alex Gansa confirmed that Season 3 will undergo something of a reset, corroborating earlier suggestions from the creative team that the Carrie/Brody storyline had reached its peak, while perhaps speaking to the difficulty of maintaining a focused overarching narrative without it hitting some bumps as it did at times last season.
Gansa told EW:
“It is a little bit of a reset, but it is really promising at the same time.”
Gansa implied that new characters would enter the fray, as they did in Season 2:
“For instance, Quinn is an amazing character that had a really slow ramp up but a strong amazing finish.”
