Showtime’s upcoming new dramatic series The Affair has just released a new poster featuring two of the show’s four main stars. The poster for The Affair, featuring Dominic West and Ruth Wilson, promotes the show’s premiere date of October 12, 2014 at 10pm ET/PT. Not pictured are Maura Tierney and Joshua Jackson who play spouses of the characters pictured on the poster. The network’s also unleashed a brand new teaser trailer for the dramatic series created by Hagai Levi and scripted by critically acclaimed playwright Sarah Treem (House of Cards, In Treatment). Treem, Levi, Eric Overmyer, and director Jeffrey Reiner are executive producing.
The Affair Plot:
The Affair will be told separately from the male and female perspectives – using the distinct memory biases to both misdirect and intrigue. Ruth 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 (Joshua 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 (Dominic 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. Maura Tierney plays Helen, Noah’s college sweetheart, best friend, mother of his children, lover and wife of 17 years.
