Action-packed: Showtime has treated fans to a first trailer for season 7 of Homeland

The show picks up after an assassination attempt was made against President-elect Elizabeth Keane (Elizabeth marvel) at the end of the last season.

Keane has broken her promise to Carrie by arresting 200 member of the intelligence community without bringing charges against them including Carrie's friend/sometimes nemesis Saul Berenson (Mandy Patinkin).

The new season shows Carrie - who has left her job at the White House and is living with her sister Maggie (Amy Hargreaves) in D.C. - attempting to secure the release of the 200.

'I'm bringing you a federal agent to testify against the government about some of the most expansive civil rights abuses in the history of our nation' Carrie says in one scene.

In an interesting twist Saul, who had been detained and was in prison, somehow ends up in a prominent role in the White House.

Saul appears on TV alongside the president and introduced as National Security Adviser under Keane, much to the dismay of Carrie.
