The U.S television show Homeland may not feature a Muslim storyline in its next season, it has been revealed. A new threat could be chosen in the fifth season ‘for creative reasons’ – and not because of the deadly attack on the headquarters of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris last week. Each of the first four seasons of Homeland have featured fictional Middle East terrorists and Muslim extremists. The U.S television show Homeland starring Claire Danes (pictured) may not feature a Muslim storyline in its next season, it has been revealed But producers are considering moving away from the format and finding a new target for CIA case officer Carrie Mathison - played by Claire Danes - when the show makes a return to screens later this year.
