Season four will see a fundamental shift in the series’ plot, with the protagonist, CIA Operations Officer Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes) moving back to the Middle East (we all know parts of the Mother City can look like the Middle East or even western Asia if you look hard enough) to take up the rather dangerous position of station chief and continue her frenzied fight against terrorism.
Good luck! Locals will tell you that the weather from June in Cape Town can be as unpredictable as the show’s storyline.
A spokeswoman for the show says: “We knew going into season four that we would need to move the production overseas to tell the story of Carrie returning to the Middle East as chief of station. We are thrilled to have found a new home in Cape Town and look forward to getting season four production off the ground.”
