Executive produced by Jeffrey Reiner (Friday Night Lights) and Eric Overmeyer (Treme), The Affair follows history teacher Noah (Dominic West) as he brings his family to Montauk for a summer of sun, sand, and relaxation. After a tough school year pounding the pavement in Brooklyn, he wants to spend time with his kids, get in a little writing on his second novel, and find a way to slow down for once in his life, but all that gets thrown for a look when he meets Alison (Ruth Wilson). Still grieving a loss in her life, Alison meets Noah at a quiet diner one morning and the two feel an instant attraction to each other, though since both of them are married, neither of them decide to pursue whatever it was that they felt between them.

Until, that is, they run into one another later that night. Still curious about their connection and the possibility that the other possesses something that their respective spouse doesn’t, Noah and Alison let things go further than they had intended, something that could threaten their marriages and the lives they had worked so hard to build.

In addition to West and Wilson, The Affair stars Joshua Jackson (Dawson’s Creek) as Alison’s husband Cole and Maura Tierney (Rescue Me) as Noah’s wife Helen.

The series premiere of The Affair airs Sunday, October 12th at 10:00 on Showtime. You can check out the opening credits for the show here, as well as sneak peeks from the first episode here and a behind the scenes look at the series here.

On the series premiere of The Affair, Noah has an encounter with Alison, a waitress having trouble getting over a recent tragedy, on the first day of his summer jaunt to Montauk. Despite the attraction that he feels toward her, partially fueled by his own desperation to escape a particularly rough morning with the kids, Noah treats the experience as all that it was – a hungry family grabbing a bite to eat and a food service worker doing her job. However, once Noah runs into Alison for a second time, this time on the beach late one night, he begins to wonder whether fate is pushing him toward this woman for one reason or another. He’d never thought about stepping out on Helen, as he loves her deeply, their sex life is nothing to complain about, and he wouldn’t want to jeopardize the life they build together, but he knows that there’s something between him and Alison that he must explore or else he’ll always be wondering about what could have been.
