“We’ve been so lucky to work with one of the best crews in the business for the last three seasons in Charlotte,” series showrunner and executive producer Alex Gansa said of the move. “We knew going into season four that we would need to move the production overseas to tell the story of Carrie returning to the Middle East as chief of station.  We are thrilled to have found a new home in Cape Town and look forward to getting season four production off the ground.”

The fourth season of “Homeland” will premiere in the fall.
