Homeland Season 4 Trailer Shows Carrie Overseas

The first true trailer for Season 4 of Showtime's Homeland has arrived online, and it might be much different than what you were expecting for this series. While the last teaser featured some cursing and an angrier tone, this one has a mellow vibe.

The trailer shows Carrie (Claire Danes) working overseas, along with some strife in the Middle East and even an explosion. But the song playing throughout, Emily Jane White's "Hole in the Middle," is something you're likely to hear at a Starbucks. Check it out below:

In case you missed it, Showtime announced last week that Homeland's first two episodes would air back-to-back on Sunday, Oct. 5 at 9 p.m. Eastern. The show is filming completely on location in South Africa, and the new season puts Carrie in one of the "most volatile and dangerous CIA stations in the Middle East," according to TVLine.

"[T]here is such strong anticipation for the start of Season 4 that we wanted to give Homeland fans an extra generous helping of Carrie and company," said Showtime EVP Gary Levine in a statement. "Once we decided to premiere Homeland with a double episode, it made sense to use the momentum of that event to launch our newest series, The Affair, the very next week."

As Levine indicated, Showtime moved up the premiere of The Affair by one week to Sunday, Oct. 12 at 10 p.m. Eastern. The relationship drama stars Dominic West of The Wire, Ruth Wilson of Luther, Maura Tierney of ER and Joshua Jackson of Fringe.
