    Co-creator Sarah Treem on the Final Season of ‘The Affair’ – Now Streaming on Hotstar Premium

    MUMBAI: After a successful four season run, The Affair is back with its fifth and last season. The drama series explores the emotional and psychological effects of an extramarital relationship, and unfolds separately from multiple perspectives, using the distinct memory biases of each character to tell the story. The last season will take place in two different time frame – a present-day storyline and the other years later in the same place that started the series of events, Montauk.

    Showrunner and Co-creator Sarah Treem said, “It’s nice to be able to end the show in Montauk – that was not something I was sure we were going to be able to do. The impact of that affair is affecting characters that weren’t around when the action took place.”

    Actors Dominic West (Noah Solloway), Maura Tierney (Henel Butler), Julia Goldani Telles (Whitney Solloway) and Jadon Sand (Trevor Solloway) will reprise their roles. Anna Paquin joins the cast as Joannie Lockhart, who returns to Montauk to find out the truth about her mother’s death.

    While the series focuses on the emotional effects of an extramarital affair, every character has grown as a result of their actions and is almost entirely different from what they were in the first season.

    Sarah Treem added, “There’s this innate sense in being a human being that life can somehow always be better. There’s someone else you can meet, there’s some other life you could have. It’s part of what keeps us hungry and keeps us innovating. But it’s also the source of so much of our pain and follow, and it’s the reason that we break each other’s hearts.”

Noah, a New York City schoolteacher and Williams College alum who is struggling to write a second book is happily married with four children, but he resents his dependence on his wealthy father-in-law. Alison, on the other hand, is a young waitress trying to piece her life and marriage back together in the wake of her child’s sudden death. The story of the affair is depicted from Noah’s and Alison’s perspectives respectively, complete with memory bias.

    The second season goes a step further as the narrative is expanded to include the perspectives of their respective original spouses, Helen and Cole too as they all move forward with the dissolution of their marriages and deal with the ramifications. The provocative drama is told separately from four different perspectives thus revealing four distinct truths.

    FX & FX HD to air season 2 of ‘The Affair’ from 10 October

    MUMBAI: The Affair, which won the Golden Globe 2015 for Best TV Drama,  has returned with its second season on FX & FX HD.

     

    The series will start from the point the previous season concluded. Starting from 10 October, the second season will be aired every Saturday at 10 pm.

     

    Season one of The Affair was an intriguing depiction of an emotional journey of two couples struggling to tackle their marriage and their extramarital relationships, to strike a balance between life and life’s responsibilities, emotions, expectations, memories and more. The first part ended on a intoxicating note where Noah gets arrested leaving curiosity in the minds of the viewers.

     

    The speculated plot of season 2 will unfold through the perspectives of all characters involved. As the story unfolds, the viewers will see the upheaval of Noah and Helen’s life as they move forward with their divorce.

     

    Speaking about the success of first season, one of the main lead Dominic West, who plays Noah, said, “The story is told from two different perspectives. One is Allison’s perspective and the other is my character i.e Noah’s perspective. So as in life, there is no objective truth, so you’re guided through the prism of the character’s viewpoint. And so it’s very much shot from the viewpoint of either him or her. So, you never know really what is going on.”
