Homeland is expected to be back with a bang in Season 3 with just as many secrets and plot twists

Homeland stars Damian Lewis and Claire Danes must be sweating under the pressure of so many tale twists as they let slip some clues to the Season 3 plot in a Beverly Hills press conference yesterday.

The biggest reveal came as Damian, who plays Nick Brody in the series, told press that his character would not be in the first two new episodes saying he was 'the most wanted criminal in the world at this point.'

Damian has even taken to fabricating his own plots to avoid any subtle slips, jesting during the conference that his character was possibly gallivanting in the French Riviera.

Damian said: “Is he swanning around a yacht on the Cote d'Azur with a bevy of Russian beauties - which I pitched? Is he hidden away? Is he lost? When you do see him, I hope it will be interesting.”

Could Damian's shaved head be any clue to his character's dalliances? If not, we're just quite pleased with the visual aesthetics of his new look.

Claire told the audience that the season will open with a 'bleak beginning' for her character Carrie set 200 days after the series 2 finale where Brody and Claire's tumultuous relationship is severely tested.

Carrie is responsible for Brody's escape but as she reveals, her character will be in isolation for 'a good chunk of the season', meanwhile Brody's family will play a bigger part in the new series. Hmmm…

The new season is expected to run in the UK in Autumn. It's all very confusing and exciting.
