Showtime and Fox 21 Television Studios have confirmed that the show's new instalment of the Claire Danes-starring drama will be filmed at Studio Babelsberg in Berlin, reported Aceshowbiz.
It will become the first American television series to ever shoot a full season entirely in Germany.
The fifth season will pick up two years after Carrie Mathison's (Danes) ill-fated tenure as Islamabad station chief.
Struggling to reconcile her guilt and disillusionment with years of working on the front lines in the "war on terror," Danes finds herself in a self-imposed exile in Berlin, estranged from the CIA and working for a private security firm.
