[Exec producer] Sarah Treem has always envisioned this as a five-season series, and we will be fascinated to see where she takes her talented cast and all of us next year in its climactic season,” Gary Levine, Showtime’s President of Programming, said in a statement.  [/row]

Starring a talented quartet ensemble of Dominic West, Ruth Wilson, Maura Tierney, and Joshua Jackson, The Affair, which is set amongst the gorgeous landscape of Montauk, has followed the romantic drama of two couples who lives are uprooted when two of them embark on an affair that changes them all forever.
