SEBASTIAN KOCH, MIRANDA OTTO, SARAH SOKOLOVIC AND ALEXANDER FEHLING JOIN CAST AS SERIES REGULARS

LOS ANGELES, CA – JUNE 01, 2015 - Today, SHOWTIME® and Fox 21Television Studios announced four new series regulars for the upcoming fifth season of its Emmy® and Golden Globe®-winning drama series HOMELAND. Celebrated German actor Sebastian Koch (THE LIVES OF OTHERS), acclaimed actress Miranda Otto (THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy), Alexander Fehling (INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS) and Sarah Sokolovic (COLD COMES THE NIGHT) have signed on to the cast and will begin filming in Berlin this week alongside returning series stars Claire Danes, Rupert Friend, F. Murray Abraham and Mandy Patinkin. Below are brief descriptions of the new characters:

OTTO DÜRING (Sebastian Koch), a German philanthropist and Carrie's (Danes) boss.

ALLISON CARR (Miranda Otto), the current Berlin Chief of Station, working directly under Saul Berenson (Patinkin).

LAURA SUTTON (Sarah Sokolovic), an American journalist in Berlin who works for the Düring Foundation.

JONAS HAPPICH (Alexander Fehling), legal counsel for the Düring Foundation and Carrie's boyfriend.

HOMELAND begins production tomorrow in Berlin, and will be the first American TV series to shoot entirely in Germany. Season five will pick up two years after Carrie Mathison’s (Emmy, SAG and Golden Globe Award winner Claire 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. HOMELAND’s 12-episode season will premiere this fall on SHOWTIME.

Produced by Fox 21 Television Studios, HOMELAND was developed for American television by Alex Gansa and Howard Gordon, and is based on the original Israeli series "Prisoners of War" by Gideon Raff. Along with Gansa, Gordon and Raff, the executive producers for season five are Alexander Cary, Chip Johannessen, Meredith Stiehm, Patrick Harbinson, Lesli Linka Glatter, Avi Nir and Ran Telem.

  1. Which means it will be four new cast members short by the end of the season.

  2. Still wish Nazanin Boniadi had made it but also glad F. Murray Abraham is staying on.

  3. So excited for the new season. They have an unbelievable high bar to beat from S4 but I believe in them.

  4. Totally agree. She was a wonderful, talented and beautiful actress. But they didn't write her character in as much as they could have. They could have done so much more with her character, and even she spoke in an interview she was surprised and heartbroken when they killed her off. Really sad. I wouldn't be surprised if the same happened to these 4.

  5. I'm excited as well, but I don't know if the season will be as good. Please don't be like season 3.

  9. Thank God they hired German actors so we don't get this weird fantasy language a lot of American filmmakers and actors think it's German.
    Deutsch ist eine schwere Sprache, aber sie wird immerhin von ca. 100 Millionen Menschen gesprochen, bei denen man einfach mal nachfragen kann.

  11. Ganz richtig. Dein deutsch ist perfekt. Wohnst du in Deutschland oder hattest du nur deutschen Unterricht?
