The first two episodes of Season 4 — which is being filmed entirely on location in South Africa, and finds Carrie Mathison assigned to one of the most volatile and dangerous CIA stations in the Middle East — will air back-to-back on Sunday, Oct. 5, starting at 9/8c.

Can’t believe this is a first not only Homeland but for Showtime? Hope the first two episodes of Season Four would be great and it will bounce back from a lackluster third season (RIP Nicholas Brody?). Don’t know if Virgil & Max are coming back this upcoming season.

Awesome so pumped for Season 4… now can we get a trailer for the new season!

I knew that they were going to do this because without a 2-hour special somewhere, the show would run into Christmas week. I think 2 hour finales make more sense, but I’ll take what they give me.

Am I the only one who hates 2 hour premieres? If the first hour is really good, I am amped for the following week. No need to O.D. Me.

Not a huge fan of them either, especially on network TV with commercials.

Awesome! I’m also looking forward to ‘The Affair.’
