Why kill a man... when you can kill an idea?

So Homeland teased on the finale of its incredible first season in December, and so we're reminded in the short trailer below.

Released over the weekend by Showtime, the promo is only 11 seconds in length, but it centers around Brody and his upcoming presence in the heart of our nation's capitol. What damage will the presumed traitor inflict from inside the Hill? We'll have to wait until September 30 to find out.

In recent Homeland casting news, Zuleikha Robinson has booked the role of a Middle Eastern field journalist with a special relationship to Abu Nazir. Look for her to interact with Damian Lews' Brody.
