The Golden Globe Award-winning drama series will debut on Showtime Sunday, October 4 at 10:00pm ET/PT but, starting today, viewers can sample the TV-14 rated version The Affair season two premiere in the player below!
Starring Golden Globe nominee Dominic West (The Wire), Golden Globe winner Ruth Wilson (Luther), Emmy nominee Maura Tierney (ER) and Screen Actors Guild Award nominee Joshua Jackson (Fringe), The Affair season two premiere explores the emotional and psychological effects of an affair that destroyed two marriages, and the crime that brings these individuals back together.
In season two, the provocative drama will be told separately from four different perspectives, revealing four distinct truths. Ruth Wilson plays Alison, a young woman attempting to move on from tragedy and build a lasting relationship while contending with the judgment of others and her own self-doubt. Her lover Noah (Dominic West) is a burgeoning writer trying to balance the temptations of success, the family he left behind, and the woman he loves. Noah’s former wife Helen (Maura Tierney) is attempting to piece her life together while navigating divorce proceedings, care for her children, and her parents’ noxious influence. Joshua Jackson plays Cole, Alison’s former husband struggling to overcome past heartbreak and start a promising new life. Yet the long-term ramifications of the affair continue to shape these lives, and will lead to an event that changes everything once again.
Award-winning playwright and writer/producer Sarah Treem (House of Cards, In Treatment) and Hagai Levi (In Treatment) created the series. Treem serves as executive producer, along with Levi, Anya Epstein (In Treatment) and director Jeffrey Reiner (Friday Night Lights).
