Showtime’s showing off a steamy teaser trailer for The Affair starring Dominic West, Maura Tierney, Joshua Jackson, and Ruth Wilson, and based on a story created by Hagai Levi. Sarah Treem (House of Cards) wrote the script and serves as an executive producer along with Levi, Jeffrey Reiner, and Eric Overmyer.
In addition to revealing the first look at The Affair, Showtime’s also announced the series will premiere on Sunday, October 19, 2014 at 10pm ET/PT.
The Affair Plot:
The Affair explores the emotional and psychological effects of an extramarital affair. The provocative drama will be told separately from the male and female perspectives – using the distinct memory biases to both misdirect and intrigue. Wilson plays Alison, a young woman waiting tables at a popular Hamptons diner, trying to piece her life back together in the wake of a tragedy. Her husband Cole (Jackson), struggles to keep it all together, both with his wife and the financially-strained ranch that has been in his family for generations. Their emotionally-charged marriage becomes even more complicated when Alison begins an affair with Noah (West), a New York City public school teacher and aspiring novelist who is spending the summer at his in-laws’ estate out on the island. Tierney plays Helen, Noah’s college sweetheart, best friend, mother of his children, lover and wife of 17 years.
