The Affair TV Series Stars
Ruth Wilson, Joshua Jackson, Maura Tierney, and Dominic West star in Showtime’s ‘The Affair.’

Showtime confirmed the award-winning dramatic series The Affair has been renewed for season four. The announcement comes just three weeks before the series finishes up its third season on Sunday, January 29, 2017 at 10pm ET/PT. The Affair stars Dominic West, Ruth Wilson, Maura Tierney, and Joshua Jackson. The cast also includes Catalina Sandino Moreno, Omar Metwally, and Irene Jacob.


The Affair was created by Sarah Treem and Hagai Levi. Treem, Levi, Anya Epstein and Jeffrey Reiner executive produce.

The Season 3 Plot: The Affair explores the emotional and psychological effects of an affair that destroyed two marriages, and the crime that brings these individuals back together, as told through multiple perspectives. Season three picked up three years after Noah’s (West) shocking admission of guilt at the murder trial of Scott Lockhart. Noah attempts to restart his life, but the damage wrought by his past decisions has made him a ghost of his former self. Alison (Wilson) has been raising daughter Joanie alongside Cole (Jackson) and Luisa (Catalina Sandino Moreno) in Montauk, but Alison’s past continues to rear its ugly head as Cole and Luisa attempt to build their own future.

For Helen (Tierney), life appears to continue on, but just below the surface of a successful business and a bustling home lies uncertainty with her boyfriend Vik (Omar Metwally), instability amongst her children, and an unshakeable feeling of guilt. In season three, BAFTA winner Irene Jacob joined the cast providing the series’ fifth perspective, playing Juliette Le Gall, a new love interest of Noah’s, running from her own secrets, who helps him process a trauma from his past and understand himself a little better.
