David Marciano will not return as a series regular on Homeland, it has been revealed.

The 53-year-old plays surveillance expert Virgil in the Showtime drama, but will not return as a major player in season three, according to Deadline.

The report claims that he may yet return to the series in a guest starring capacity.

Marciano is currently developing a cable prison drama based on a real criminal enterprise that operates from jail.

He is working on the project with his writing partner Steven Pickman and producer Aaron Kaplan, but it is not being viewed as a starring vehicle for Marciano.

Earlier this year, it was announced that Diego Klattenhoff, who plays Nicholas Brody's long-time Marine friend and eventual love rival Mike Faber, would also not be returning to Homeland as a series regular.

However, it has been confirmed that Damian Lewis will return for the upcoming run as Brody, who was last seen crossing the US border into Canada.

Homeland is set to premiere its third season on Sunday, September 29 at 9pm on Showtime,

A little bit more info announced today:

New plot details have emerged for the third season of Homeland.

The Showtime drama's next run of episodes will concern a "global manhunt for the world's most wanted terrorist" Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis).

A release from the cable network reads: "As Carrie (Claire Danes) and Saul (Mandy Patinkin) begin to pick up the pieces of their shattered professional and personal lives, they are swept up in the political and media firestorm surrounding the terror attack and the subsequent search for Brody's whereabouts."

In addition to Lewis, Danes and Patinkin, cast members Morena Baccarin (Jess Brody), Rupert Friend (Quinn), Jackson Pace (Chris Brody) and Morgan Saylor (Dana Brody) are all confirmed to return.

However, neither David Marciano (Virgil) or Diego Klattenhoff (Mike) will return to the show as regulars, though both may appear in a recurring capacity.

Mike is no big loss but I liked Virgil, thought he had an interesting relationship with Carrie and had some good scenes.

Looking forward to Chris being told to leave the room another 3,000 times next series.

"The season three premiere is titled "Tin Man is Down" and will introduce viewers to a slew of troubled, but recovering young adults, including a handsome and charming young man who can sweep girls off their feet. Hmm…could Dana be heading to counseling of some sort? Sounds likely, considering we'll also meet a psychiatrist during the hour"

Sounds underwhelming, to say the least.

‘Homeland’ season 3 to add seven new characters to series


By Ste Taylorstevenjtay) at 9:30 am, May 15, 2013 | Reviewed by Lexxie Ehrenkaufer



Homeland season 3 will introduce seven new characters to the series with several characters seeming to be centered around Carrie Mathison.

Homeland season 3 will begin filming at the end of May, and we are slowly beginning to feed on news that the series is leaking out. Today, we learned that Homeland will add a staggering seven new characters to season 3 with many of them appearing to be concentrated around Carrie Mathison.
In an article with TV Guide, there was confirmation that the seven new characters are as follows:

Besides the expected new roles of a senator and National Security Advisor, the series is also casting actors to play psychiatrist Dr. Troy Richardson; a grandmother named Lois; a couple of girls in therapy plus a handsome young man named Leo; and a fortysomething guy who ends up being someone’s one-night stand.

Some of the new characters are going to be more integral than others, and we’re interested to see Dr. Troy Richardson, who we assume will be keeping a close eye on Carrie as she is in serious mental meltdown.
Also, we’ll see Lois, who we imagine to be the mother of Jessica Brody. With Jessica going through some serious issues regarding her marriage, we believe that Jessica will confide in Lois, and Lois will also look after Chris and Dana from time to time.

The latter five we presume will be part-time cast members and won’t be essential to the season’s plot. However, we reported news that Dana and Chris will be getting their own storyline in the future back in November, and we hope to see the new characters in Leo and the couple of girls in therapy give life to more character development for the young Brodys.
Homeland season 3 will start filming at the end of May, and premiere on September 29 over on Showtime.

A previous spoiler indicated that a Persian female will be playing a reoccurring role and that she will be a central character. E! News verified this rumor and revealed that her name is Fara. She is described as a keen woman whose intelligence and professionalism is unusual for her being so young. Fara will make her first appearance on episode 2, which is titled "Tower of David."

There will also be a group of troubled young adults according to Carter Matt. One will be a master charmer although not much else is known.
Other spoilers have stated that there will be a time jump when the show returns. Also, F. Murray Abraham and Sarita Choudhury will both be series regulars.

and finally a promotion for Saul as reported at http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/09/homeland-f-murray-abraham_n_3246611.html

Two familiar "Homeland" faces have gotten a promotion, and they both have ties to the new acting director of the CIA: The one and only Saul Berenson (Mandy Patinkin).
According to HitFix, F. Murray Abraham has been upped to series regular after playing retired black ops specialist Dar Adal in a few key scenes in Season 2, while Sarita Choudhury will finally be getting more screen time (and, we assume, moving back home) as Saul's wife, Mira.
Although not much is known about Season 3 of "Homeland," it will pick up during the aftermath of the terrorist attack at the end of Season 2 that caused Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis) to leave the country with the help of Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes).
Additionally, the new season will find Carrie and Saul working to rebuild their personal and professional lives in the midst of a media firestorm about the terrorist attack and the search for Brody.

The wait for this and Breaking Bad make me want to go in to a coma for the summer and wake up at the appropriate times.

BB is around August 11th and Homeland is September.

Too far away.

For those who are counting down the weeks and hours, to tide you over I'd really recommend Prisoners Of War, the original Israeli series on which Homeland was based. It's far more slower-paced than Homeland but is superbly-acted and is hugely enjoyable. And the story has some key differences so you're not just watching a subtitled version of Homeland. I'm three episodes into season 2 and so far it's just as good. And the Dana in it is nowhere near as annoying as her American cousin.

Hmm based on these reports and how the second season was, I may not bother tuning in. Does not sound remotely promising.

A whole load more chin wobbling scenes from Carrie!
Ah I love Saul, and Quinn.
Hurry up BB and Homeland!

thegreengoblin

Some serious wobbling going on alright!

Quinn and Saul are great, and if they keep Brody and Carrie apart it could be decent.

Yup, the leaked copy is minus the usual visual effects - it just has notes like "VFX - Bomb Damage" instead. Still very watchable and quite good.

What do you mean by 'notes' ? Is it a normal episode?

Essentially a workprint.. it's notes to a visual effects artists or editor to edit in a particular item or effects there.

Thanks. So it's not leaked by the production company deliberately in that case!
