Returning Homeland cast members include Claire Danes, Rupert Friend, F. Murray Abraham, and Mandy Patinkin. Along with announcing the new regulars on the series, Showtime released brief character descriptions:

The Season Five Plot:
Season five 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,” Carrie finds herself in a self-imposed exile in Berlin, estranged from the CIA and working for a private security firm.
