By jumping some time, we're going to be able to put our characters in different places than they have been this season. There will be a reset, probably after a jump in time, and both [Carrie and Brody] will be in very different places than they are now." a source reveald.
"The centre of season two will be the same as the centre of season one and that is the Carrie-Brody relationship," the source added.
Danes, who married Dancy in a private ceremony in France during 2009, previously spoke out about the confidence she gained through marriage.
"My mom Carla taught me that a long marriage can work. My parents have been together since they were 18 so I am privileged to have them as role models," Danes said.
"I like marriage. I feel very secure. It helps when you are in love with the person you are married to," she added. "I do sometimes look at him and think, 'You are really handsome.' He keeps me sane and happy."
