LOS ANGELES (AP) – Time will fly between the fourth and fifth season of the Showtime spy drama “Homeland,” the series’ executive producer Alex Gansa said.

“We’re going to take about a two-year forward jump,” Gansa said Friday at the opening night of PaleyFest, the annual TV celebration at the Dolby Theatre.

On the purple carpet, Gansa said the next “Homeland” season will be filmed in Europe, most likely in Berlin. He said the setting would be Germany.

The fourth season of “Homeland” was shot in Capetown, South Africa, which doubled for Islamabad and Kabul.

Gansa later told the PaleyFest audience that CIA officer Carrie Mathison, played by series star Claire Danes, will no longer be an intelligence officer.
