"In light of the tragedy that has occurred in Connecticut, the following program contains images that may be disturbing," the extra warning read ahead of Sunday's intense season-two finale. "Viewer discretion is advised."

Homeland follows CIA officer Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes), who learns that Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis), a Marine sergeant deemed missing who could have been turned by al-Qaida, was the prisoner of war her contact was alluding to.

A synopsis for the finale, titled "The Choice," is as follows: "Carrie is faced with a pivotal decision, while Brody meets with Faber to contemplate the future of the family. Meanwhile, Saul undertakes a secret assignment; and Quinn has a decision to make that may prove to be a game-changer."

This comes after movie studios and networks -- both cable and broadcast -- modified plans following Friday's Newtown shooting that left 28 dead, including the gunman.

Paramount delayed Tom Cruise's Jack Reacher premiere in Pittsburgh, while Fox canceled a Parental Guidance post-screening party. Fox pulled several originals from its Sunday night animated block, and Syfy on Friday opted not to air a new episode of Haven as it centered on violence at a high school. Saturday Night Live opened its Christmas episode with a children's choir singing "Silent Night."
