Homeland reveals a trailer for its upcoming third season.

Showtime has released the first trailer for the upcoming season of its captivating political thriller Homeland, which will air in the United States from Sept 29.

After an award-winning second season that was watched by nearly two million viewers in the US, Homeland is in the news again this week, more than a month before its much-anticipated return to the airwaves.

Viewers who followed the escapades of Brody, Carrie and Saul over the past two seasons will be reunited with the characters, now in serious crisis.

Forced to flee after an attack that destroyed the CIA headquarters, Brody will wear a closely shaved head while on the lam.

For their part, Carrie and Saul will take to the witness stand during hearings over the devastating events that concluded the second season.

Homeland will pick up where it left off from Sept 29 on Showtime in the US. Claire Danes, Damian Lewis and Mandy Patinkin will all be back for 12 episodes. — AFP Relaxnews

Mary Lynn Rajskub returns to 24

Posted:

MARY Lynn Rajkub will once again slip into the role of the analyst Chloe O'Brian for the miniseries 24: Live Another Day, expected out on Fox in the US next year.

Featured in seasons three to eight of 24, the actress will join Kiefer Sutherland on screen for 12 new episodes of the show in the form of a miniseries, where a new terrorist threat will bring Jack Bauer and Chloe out of retirement.

Nerdy and somewhat awkward, but highly effective, Chloe remains Jack's most trusted ally.

24: Live Another Day will air on Fox in the spring of 2014.

The screenplay sets the miniseries several years after the eighth season of 24, aired in 2010.

The show's principle of real-time storytelling will remain, but in a slightly compressed version: the 24-hour day is now condensed into 12 episodes instead of 24.

Jack Bauer's comeback will rely on the expertise of Howard Gordon, executive producer throughout the run of 24.

The screenwriter and producer is also behind another hit action TV series currently airing, Homeland. — AFP Relaxnews
