The second season of the breakout hit drama - about the cat-and-mouse game between a US Marine (Damian Lewis) who returned from captivity as a hero and the bipolar CIA agent (Claire Danes) who suspected he was a terrorist - will feature more footage from Israeli locations than in season one.
Executive Producer Howard Gordon said the second season of "Homeland" - which won two Golden Globes and a Writers Guild of America award – would focus more on international terrorism.
