One of the cast members of "Homeland" revealed that the series will get a major overhaul next season. 

Rupert Friend, the actor who portrays the role of CIA assassin Peter Quinn, sat down with Deadline to talk about the things that viewers should look forward to when the spy thriller returns to Showtime this September. According to Friend, the cast is still kept in the dark about the plot or "Homeland" season 5.

"It's done very much blow-by-blow," he said.

The actor can only guess where the show will lead the characters next season, saying: "If I were to hazard a guess, they wanted to do a reboot of everything and rejig the whole concept of the show away from a kind of will they/ won't they Carrie/ Brody thing and back into an espionage thriller, and focus on spy craft, which they now seem to be doing pretty much each season really. Certainly this one we're filming now is very much a do-over, again." 

By the end of season 4, it seemed that Quinn and series heroine Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes) were starting to have a personal connection. But their long-awaited romance marked by a passionate kiss was immediately disrupted when Quinn had to go away for a black ops mission. 

During this year's PaleyFest, series producers revealed that "Homeland" season 5 will feature a two-year time jump. It will also show Carrie's new life away from the CIA as she and her daughter have moved to Berlin to begin a new life, and she will be in a new relationship with someone else. 

iDigitalTimes reported that Carrie will meet her new boyfriend, lawyer Jonas Happich (Alexander Fehling), in Berlin while she works for a private security firm. But it does not mean that Quinn will not resurface in her life and ignite a love triangle. 

"Homeland" season 5 is expected to return in September this year.
