Today, Showtime announced the renewals of its Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning series 'Homeland' and the critically-acclaimed drama 'Masters of Sex' for their fourth and second seasons respectively. Both series are set to return in 2014 with 12 one-hour episodes.

“'Homeland' continues to prove its strength for Showtime, and is one of television's most exciting, provocative and widely-discussed shows. It has grown its audience significantly in each of its three seasons," said David Nevins, President of Entertainment, Showtime Networks Inc. “The critical and audience reaction to 'Masters of Sex' since its great launch has been incredibly gratifying. It's a privilege to get to work with such talented and creative people as Alex Gansa and Michelle Ashford, as well as their tremendous casts.
