VIDEO: Showtime Releases Official Trailer for HOMELAND Season 5

In advance of the highly-anticipated fifth season premiere of HOMELAND on Sunday, October 4th at 9 p.m. ET/PT, Showtime has released the full-length trailer for its Emmy and Golden Globe®-winning hit drama series.

Recently nominated for the Emmy for Outstanding Drama series, HOMELAND stars Emmy, Screen Actors Guild® and Golden Globe® Award winner Claire Danes, Emmy nominee Rupert Friend, Oscar® winner and Emmy nominee F. Murray Abraham, Sebastian Koch, Screen Actors Guild winner Miranda Otto, Alexander Fehling, Sarah Sokolovic, and Emmy and Tony® winner Mandy Patinkin.

HOMELAND season five will pick up two years after Carrie Mathison's (Danes) ill-fated tenure as Islamabad station chief. Struggling to reconcile her guilt and disillusionment with years of working on the front lines in the "war on terror," Carrie finds herself in a self-imposed exile in Berlin, estranged from the CIA and working as the head of security for a German philanthropist. HOMELAND is currently in production in Berlin, and is the first American TV series to shoot entirely in Germany. Produced by FOX 21 Television Studios, HOMELAND was developed for American television by Alex Gansa and Howard Gordon, and is based on the original Israeli series "Prisoners of War" by Gideon Raff. Along with Gansa and Gordon, the executive producers for season five are Meredith Stiehm, Patrick Harbinson, Chip Johannessen, Alexander Cary, Lesli Linka Glatter, Gideon Raff, Avi Nir and Ran Telem.

Showtime is currently available to subscribers via cable, DBS and telco providers, and as a stand-alone streaming service through Apple® and Roku®. Consumers can also subscribe to Showtime via Hulu and Sony Network Entertainment International LLC's PlayStation® Vue.
