Homeland star Damian Lewis has been back filming the hit show this week – despite his character Nicholas Brody being executed in the last series.

He was hanged at the end of Season Three and certainly looked a goner. But this shot of Damian, 43, leaving his trailer on set in Cape Town, South Africa will give fans new hope he somehow escaped unscathed.

Viewers of the political thriller – which also stars Claire Danes and Rupert Friend – better not get too excited

though. There’s always a chance it’s that classic telly trick... the flashback.
