In a recent interview with Deadline, actor Rupert Friend, who portrays Peter Quinn in the political thriller television series 'Homeland,' revealed what is in store for his character in the upcoming season of the show. Friend also provided some insight regarding what fans should expect from the show when it returns for its fifth season this fall on Showtime.

Christian Today reports that referring to his failed relationship with the main character Carrie Mathison (Clarie Danes), Friend told the publcation, "I think it was very interesting to see this so-called tough guy - who we've seen be violent, and who has deep anger management issues and is very thick-skinned in many ways - open himself in any way to anybody, even the tiniest bit, and be even mildly rejected."

At the same time, the actor clarified that Quinn is not habituated to being intimate or vulnerable and, hence, he reacts differently from other people who may possibly simply ignore such rejection. But Quinn is of a different nature.

In 'Homeland' Season 4, fans have already seen that Quinn decided to go on a suicide mission and was separated from Carrie for good, as the latter left Islamabad, relinquished her job with the CIA, and is currently on self-imposed exile in Germany.

While Carrie is slated to return for Season 5, she will now have a new love interest in Jonas Happich, portrayed by Alexander Fehling. In fact, Happich is not just dating Carrie, but he also works as a legal counsel for the During Foundation, the new employer of Carrie and suggested to be the big antagonist in the upcoming season.

This vibrant set-up may possibly make things all the more worse for Quinn's relationship with Carrie. When asked if he could reveal anything regarding these two characters' future as a couple, Friend just said, "We're not given a season outline or anything. It's done very much blow-by-blow."

In 'Homeland' Season 5, the setting shifts from the desert locale to Germany, where Carrie currently works for a private security firm and has been assigned under Otto During, who also happens to be a current person-of-interest for the CIA.

'Homeland' Season 5 is slated to premiere this fall.
