The Affair Returns With Teaser and Poster Art for Season 4

Genre: Drama, mystery, psychological drama
Cast: Dominic West, Ruth Wilson, Maura Tierney, Joshua Jackson
The Affair’s third season ended all the way back in January 2017, and now, season 4 is getting ready. In a new teaser trailer for the Showtime drama,  we appear to pick up right where we left off with Noah (Dominic West), Helen (Maura Tierney), Alison (Ruth Wilson), and Cole (Joshua Jackson) trying to deal with some difficult situations.
Showtime also released poster art for the upcoming season. It captures the idea of leaving the past behind with the tagline questioning “What are you holding on to?”
“I’ve lived this entire story before, and it does not end well,” intones Alison Lockhart (Ruth Wilson) in the teaser, whose adulterous affair with married writer Noah Solloway (Dominic West) unleashes a devastating chain of events that leave numerous lives in shambles, including their own.
“Who couldn’t you live without?” Helen wonders. The answer: It’s so very complicated.
Showtime’s synopsis of season 4 reads: “Every character is involved in a new relationship, forcing them each to decide if they’re ready and willing to leave the past behind for good — with a season about new beginnings, tragic ends and the ever-elusive possibility of forgiveness.”
Sanaa Lathan joins season 4 as Janelle, described as a “tough-as-nails principal” at Noah’s charter school. Among the guest stars — which include Russell Hornsby, Christopher Meyer, Amy Irving, and Phoebe Tonkin — is Ramon Rodriguez as Alison’s new love interest, Ben, a Marine veteran employed by the VHA.
‘The Affair’ season 4 premieres 17 June at 9 pm on Showtime.
