Homeland Season 4 Spoilers: Carrie Has Brody's Baby

Homeland hit the reset button in its Season 3 finale when it made the controversial decision to kill off fan-favorite Nicholas Brody and, by necessity, remove the extremely talent actor Damian Lewis. Carrie (Claire Danes) will be on assignment in Pakistan in Season 4, but Brody's death still looms large over the show.

Executive producer Howard Gordon spoke to the "Mega Buzz" column at TV Guide and said Brody will live in on the show in the form of his child:

"Brody may be dead and gone, but executive producer Howard Gordon insists that the character will not be forgotten. 'The story finds Carrie in an emotional space that is very much a continuation of last year's story, and the specter of Brody is still felt very strongly,' Gordon says. How strongly? Well, his kid will be running around! That's right, Gordon confirms that Carrie, who seemed on the fence about keeping the baby last year, will be juggling parenting duties when the new season begins. 'This year tells the story of Carrie and her evolution as CIA officer but also as a woman, who now turns out to be a mother,' Gordon says."

The pregnancy storyline was a source of major controversy among fans and critics in Season 3, a season chock full of controversial choices by the show. It remains to be seen how Carrie will work in the field and feed a baby at the same time, but we'll find out when Season 4 premieres.
