Homeland Premiere Spoilers, Plot News: Carrie Returns as the 'Drone Queen'

The highly-acclaimed political thriller series "Homeland" is now set to return for its fourth season with its premiere episode entitled "The Drone Queen" and to be followed back-to-back by "Trylon and Perisphere" which are scheduled to air this coming Sunday, Oct. 5, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Showtime.

Considered to be the season where the show returns to what it's good at, the fourth chapter of "Homeland" will once again focus on Claire Danes' complex, sometimes mentally jagged, CIA operative, Carrie Mathison.

"And while we know Carrie by now — she's fearless and unbounded at work and skittish in personal relationships — her character is so well imagined and so skillfully performed by Ms. Danes that even after three years, there is still some ambiguity left," described The New York Times.
