The official synopsis for the "Homeland" season 4 premiere reads: "Season 4 begins with Carrie, the CIA Chief of Station in Kabul, making a critical decision when her counterpart in Islamabad delivers urgent intelligence on a high-value target. Back in the U.S., Saul struggles to adjust to the private sector."

As we previously reported, the co-creator of the Showtime series, Alex Gansa, is "enthusiastic" about the upcoming premiere and first episodes.

"Homeland" season 4 will take Carrie, played by Claire Danes, back into the field as an agent working in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Alex Gansa revealed that this was the original intention for the show.

"[Changing the direction of the series] required a rejigging of everything ... and a whole new set of characters in the most part," Gansa said, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.

"The minute that show comes on you are going to be in a reinvigorated landscape.

"We are quite enthusiastic about the first episodes that we have shot and the viewers will be the judge of it."

"Our original intention for the second season was to take Carrie Matthison overseas and watch her do what she was trained to do and that's to be a case officer in a foreign country," he continued.

"And that's what we are doing in season four instead of season two."

Gansa gave another "Homeland" season 4 spoiler: the themes in the upcoming season are inspired by real-life conflicts in world politics.

"Before every season, the first thing we do is take a trip to Washington DC and spend a week there talking to consultants," he said.

"They are current and former intelligent officers, state department officials and White House staffers who tell us what everyone is talking about and then we turn it into a fictional story.

"This season is really all about the draw down of American forces in Afghanistan and what it means for South-East Asia, Afghanistan, Pakistan and the US."

Tune in tonight on Showtime at 9:00 PM ET.
