'Homeland' season five to be filmed in Germany

Los Angeles: The upcoming fifth season of popular TV show "Homeland" will entirely be shot in Germany.

Showtime and Fox 21 Television Studios have confirmed that the show's new instalment of the Claire Danes-starring drama will be filmed at Studio Babelsberg in Berlin, reported Aceshowbiz.

It will become the first American television series to ever shoot a full season entirely in Germany.

The fifth season 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," Danes finds herself in a self-imposed exile in Berlin, estranged from the CIA and working for a private security firm. The 12-episode new season will premiere this fall.
