"Homeland exec Alex Gansa has hinted at Brody&amp;#039;s mission in season two. In the hit drama&amp;#039;s first season finale, the US marine - played by Damian Lewis - made a deal with terrorist Abu Nazir (Navid Negahban) to strike at America through political influence.  &amp;quot;Brody and Nazir made this sort of pact, that Brody would actually not be involved in any overt terrorist acts,&amp;quot; Gansa told TVLine. &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s been a sort of d\u00E9tente between them.&amp;quot; The producer added that season two premiere &amp;#039;The Smile&amp;#039; will see the uneasy alliance between the two men &amp;quot;begin to break down&amp;quot;.  &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s exactly what the first episode brings into relief, that Brody&amp;#039;s pitch to Abu Nazir may not have been enough,&amp;quot; he explained. Homeland star Lewis previously confirmed that Brody will be on an &amp;quot;accelerated political trajectory&amp;quot; in future episodes. &amp;quot;Brody is clearly still vulnerable and unstable,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;He accepts the job [in politics] because it gets him to be closer to the man he needs to be closer to - the Vice President.&amp;quot; The series will return to Showtime in the US on September 30. Season two is expected to debut in the UK in October. &amp;gt; Homeland season one DVD posters, trailer revealed &amp;gt; Homeland escapes sex and swearing rebuke Watch the latest promo for Homeland season two below:      Photo gallery - Homeland season 2:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
