Homeland begins third season in Charlotte, films in Raleigh next week


Principle photography is officially underway in North Carolina on Showtime’s award-winning series Homeland. Crews for the series have been spotted at several uptown Charlotte locations this week. Based in Charlotte, the series has previously filmed in the Queen City as well as Concord, Gastonia, Kings Mountain, Mooresville, and Salisbury. The third season is expected to once again shoot throughout the Charlotte Region and will also be filming in Raleigh next week.

According to the N.C. Film Office, the show has been based out of North Carolina since its infancy and, prior to the start of the third season, has been responsible for a direct in-state spend of approximately $65.5 million while providing 252 well-paying crew positions each season for the state’s highly skilled film professionals as well as a total of more than 2,200 other job opportunities. The third season of Homeland debuts in September on Showtime.
