Though most of the show’s international action has taken place in the Middle East, the location change doesn’t mean the show will necessarily take place _in_ Germany: Last season was set in Pakistan but was filmed in South Africa. More importantly, Gansa revealed the new season will jump two and a half years into the future, where Carrie won’t be fighting terrorists (at least in any official capacity). “Carrie will no longer be an intelligence officer,” he said. \[[_TVLine_](http://tvline.com/2015/03/06/homeland-season-5-germany-time-jump-carrie-cia-spoilers/ "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3736303/homeland-season-5/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3736303/homeland-season-5/"},"headline":"Homeland Season 5 Headed to Europe, Jumps 2 Years Ahead","datePublished":"2015-03-07T16:19:17.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T04:59:27.506Z","description":"'Carrie will no longer be an intelligence officer,' executive producer Alex Gansa revealed","url":"https://time.com/3736303/homeland-season-5/","keywords":["Television","Homeland"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd441e8e22a5859ee/698782afcd1bba36546f596a/homeland.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nolan Feeney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd441e8e22a5859ee/698782afcd1bba36546f596a/homeland.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"ABC News journalist Martha Raddatz, actress Claire Danes and Executive Producer Alex Gansa appear at a screening of Showtime's \"Homeland\" Season 3 Finale \"The Star\" at 20th Century Fox Studios on May 2, 2014 in Los Angeles.","caption":"ABC News journalist Martha Raddatz, actress Claire Danes and Executive Producer Alex Gansa appear at a screening of Showtime's \"Homeland\" Season 3 Finale \"The Star\" at 20th Century Fox Studios on May 2, 2014 in Los Angeles.","creditText":"Kevin Winter—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3736303/homeland-season-5/","name":"Homeland Season 5 Headed to Europe, Jumps 2 Years Ahead"}}]}] ```
