‘Homeland’ season 3 spoilers: Damian Lewis talks grim future for Brody, Carrie
Are we really going to see Brody and Carrie try to find a way to make romance work on “Homeland” season 3? While there have been tiny glimpses of it from time to time over the past two seasons, they have been mostly made in spur-of-the-moment euphoria, and not so much amidst the backdrop of the real world with real consequences. With that in mind, there’s still plenty of reasons to be skeptical over the future of this couple … especially since the two parties are going to be spending at least the early stages of the new season apart while the accused terrorist goes off the grid.
Damian Lewis was recently awarded the very prestigious Freedom of the City of London, and speaking to reporters at the event, the Emmy-winner proceeded to throw even more shade onto the possibility of Carrie and Brody getting together in a way that actually stuck:
“I think Brody and Carrie are over. I don’t think those two can be together. Can you imagine them being married and bringing up kids? I don’t think it would last long … I think they’d be in the divorce courts pretty quickly so I don’t think that’s a story that has got many legs.”
Truthfully, though, Lewis may not have been saying this with much context as per the new season. The scripts are currently being worked on, and production in North Carolina does not fully begin until May. Meanwhile, “Homeland” season 3 will premiere on September 29, with the series continuing to film for at least a couple of months while the episodes are airing.
What do you think: is there really any hope for Carrie and Brody to be a real couple at the end of the day? If you want to see what else Lewis is doing to by his time before the start of “Homeland” season 3, you can do so over at the link here.

For the romance side of things, it’ll have to be Carrie & Quinn for a while, taking it slow — flirting and arguing and flirting again — for half of the season, with Carrie eventually deciding Brody’s dead or gone for good, and settling for a half-hearted alcohol-fueled hookup with Quinn. Of course, that’s when Brody will reappear to add the requisite triangular complication — and the spark of true soul-mated risky love business. For the spy-fi sides of things, we’ll probably see Carrie trying to investigate the car-bomb on her own and eventually bringing Saul around to help her. Brody will be in the background running through tunnels, leaping across roofs, running from various threats, agonizing about his family, flashing back the good ole cabin days in a few reflective moments, and generally doing the Bourne Identity thing until just about 3/4 of the way through. Either he ends up doing something so massively heroic and vital to the future of the USA and he somehow lives so he can return to his homeland, or the writers kill him off as a hero, so his family can recover from the terrorist tape he made. I think Damian Lewis will be ready to have his character killed off after 3 seasons.

I was pretty upset how the second season ended. I liked the bomb thing as well as hated it for its effect on Carrie and Brody…his leaving. At the same time, them living happily at the cabin just seemed awkward and would Crazytown Carrie will give up a disasterous relationship for the CIA? Of course not. She’d eventually go back, of course, but the love/lust relationship is my guilty pleasure and I hate to see that go by the wayside.
That said, I’m waiting to see what Season 3 holds. I believe the writers can make me go “Wow.” Maybe Carrie can go Crazytown again with Quinn.

I think the couple will have a break up during the next season, it couldn’t be in a different way, the show needs to move on from brody-carrie for awhile…maybe by its end the relationship will be brought up again for some reason.. ( just to remark that showing the chemestry and love in the previously seasons and not let Brody die have to mean something)…by the way the producers have to think hard… at this point, for all that they showed us of them two, it’s difficult to cut their relationship once for all, from a collateral path it has begun a column part of the whole story ( most part of Homeland watchers love them..how couldn’t we? Danes and Lewis are amazing and the plot that lead them toghether is great)…I think that the end of the show will be concerning about their relationship too…I think that their love will lead them to an happy ending together or will really kill them (or at least one of them…it isn’t Romeo and Juliet afterall ahahah)
