Showtime have announced that the 6th season has been pushed back to January 2017 (probably to launch the new Twin Peaks on the back of it).
They are also pushing for another two seasons after that.
A few details about season 6:
Quote:
Homeland is homebound. After setting Season 4 in Pakistan and Season 5 in Germany, the upcoming sixth season will be shot in and around New York, Showtime’s David Nevins said at TCA. “It will be set domestically, primarily in the New York area,” he said.

Showtime have ordered two additional seasons on top of the upcoming sixth season, which starts January 15th 2017.
Here are some details about the plot for season 6:
Quote:
After she thwarted a terrorist attack in Berlin, season six picks up several months later and finds Carrie Mathison (Danes) back on American soil, living in Brooklyn, New York. She has begun working at a foundation whose efforts are to provide aid to Muslims living in the U.S. Season six will tackle the after effects of the U.S. presidential election, with the entire season taking place between election day and the inauguration. It’s a strange, transitional time in the halls of government filled with anxiety and different competing interests, where a very fragile and complex transfer of power takes place between the outgoing president and the incoming president-elect.

Looks kinda meh, just a hodge podge of previous seasons.
SPOILER:
Saul kidnapped again? *snore* :(
Quote:
Events pick up after the sixth season finale, Carrie (Claire Daines) is on the outside, investigating White House corruption, while Saul (Mandy Patikin) makes the surprise jump from federal prison to Oval Office adviser. The right-wing conspiracy theorist, Homeland's spin on Alex Jones played by Brett O'Keefe, also appears to be involved in some kind of militia.
I say it every year, but I dunno if I can do this again.

I dunno, it's like the writers just stick the previous year's current affairs into a plot-o-matic and see what comes out. I guess at least they're going back more than just one year this time with the whole Ruby Ridge-esque pantomime.
Just waiting for Russia to be behind it all, now...
