Homeland will undergo a "reset" for its third season, exec Howard Gordon has revealed.
The Showtime drama's writing team are currently working on new episodes, producer Gordon confirmed to Entertainment Weekly.
"It is a little bit of a reset," he said of the new season. "But it is really promising at the same time."
Gordon explained that he is keen to introduce new characters and plot points in season three, citing the character of Quinn (Rupert Friend) as a successful addition to Homeland's second run.
"Quinn is an amazing character that had a really slow ramp-up but a strong, amazing finish," he suggested.
Homeland exec Alex Gansa recently claimed that season three will likely be "smaller" in scale, comparing future episodes to the work of spy author John le Carré.
Showtime's President of Entertainment David Nevins has defended the show's divisive second season, claiming that he "really liked" the latest run.
