With excitement and anxiety growing stronger as we inch closer to the fall season, we would like to share some new images for the new Showtime drama, Homeland to help settle the nerves!

Claire Danes is set to make her television return in this one-hour psychological thriller that follows Carrie Anderson (Danes), a CIA operations officer who becomes convinced that the intelligence that led to the rescue of Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis), a U.S. soldier who had been missing and presumed dead was a set-up and may be connected to an Al Qaeda plot to be carried out on American soil.

Mandy Patinkin also stars as Saul Berenson, a veteran CIA Division Chief who is Carrie’s boss and mentor.

In case if you missed the extended trailer that was recently released, you will find it below. Also for your viewing pleasure, we have new photos from the series right below the trailer.

Make sure to tune into Homeland during its big premiere, October 2nd, 2011 only on Showtime.
