Hit TV series ‘Homeland’ set to come home to Israel

Award-winning thriller, adapted from Israeli series “Hatufim” (“Prisoners of War”), will shoot much of its second season in Israel • Small parts of the first season were also shot in Israel • “Homeland” is Showtime’s highest-rated new drama series ever.

The hit TV series “Homeland” is heading home — to Israel.

Showtime says its Golden Globe-winning thriller will film part of its second season in Israel. The show was adapted from the Israeli drama “Hatufim” (“Prisoners of War”). The network says “Homeland” is its highest-rated new drama series ever.

“Homeland” is one of several American TV shows inspired by Israeli programs in recent years. It tells the story of an American soldier released from captivity in Iraq and a CIA officer who suspects him of being an al-Qaida turncoat. The network says the second season of “Homeland” will premiere on Sept. 30.

Small parts of the first season were also shot in Israel. Showtime spokeswoman Chloe Comins said Tuesday that most of the second season would again be shot in Charlotte, North Carolina.
