Showtime Announces 'Homeland' & 'The Affair' Premiere Dates

Mark your calendars – Homeland and The Affair just got fall premiere dates!

Showtime announced that the highly-anticipated fifth season of Homeland will debut on Sunday, October 4th @ 9PM ET/PT, with The Affair‘s second season premiering right after that @ 10PM.

Homeland season five will pick up two years after Carrie Mathison’s (Claire Danes) ill-fated tenure as Islamabad station chief.

Struggling to reconcile her guilt and disillusionment with years of working on the front lines in the “war on terror,” Carrie finds herself in a self-imposed exile in Berlin, estranged from the CIA and working as the head of security for a German philanthropist.

Season two of The Affair explores the emotional and psychological effects of an affair that destroyed two marriages, and the crime that brings these individuals back together.

This season, the provocative drama will be told separately from four different perspectives, revealing four distinct truths.

ARE YOU EXCITED for both of these shows to come back?
