TV show description:
Based on the Dutch drama series Overspel, this dramatic series revolves around a beautiful photographer who begins an affair with the lawyer for a powerful family.
Following a chance meeting between professional photographer Sara Hanley (Hannah Ware) and top attorney Jack McAllister (Stuart Townsend), the two discover they have an instant and undeniable attraction. Unfortunately, they’re both already married. Sara and Jack realize something is missing in their marriages, and fight against the realization that they’ve met their soulmates in one another.
Sara is married to Drew Stafford (Chris Johnson), a successful prosecutor with political aspirations, and they have a seven-year-old son, Oliver, together.
Unbeknownst to Sara, Jack is the in-house counsel to a powerful and shady entrepreneur, Thatcher Karsten (James Cromwell). Jack is married to Thatcher’s daughter, Elaine (Wendy Moniz). She’s is a smart and determined woman who’s trying to make her Chicago café a success on her own terms — while still being a good mother to their 16-year-old twins, Valerie (Elizabeth McLaughlin) and Victor (Braeden Lemasters).
As Sara and Jack struggle with their feelings and their guilt, Thatcher’s brother-in-law is murdered, and all evidence points to Thatcher’s mentally-challenged son, T.J. Karsten (Henry Thomas).
Things become even more complicated when Sara’s husband becomes the prosecuting attorney in the high-profile murder case, a case that could secure his political future. Jack will be the lawyer for the defense.
The lovers quickly find themselves in an impossible situation -– on opposite sides of a murder investigation.

In the aftermath of Sara’s shooting, the two families are forced to confront decisions they’ve made, as well as look to the future.

What do you think? Do you like the Betrayal TV series? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season?
My wife and I loved this show. Intrigue. What a waste.
Very very very sad it was one of the best shows on tv please please bring it back and why kill the fathers character off he was the best please bring it back I still watch all the episodes
Why cancel Betrayal. We haven’t had a good drama soap opera in a long time. Time to replace reality shows.
Please bring this show back.
I just finished watching my recorded DVR series of Betrayal and I was so hooked on all the characters. It wasn’t just some “affair” it was shown as real people with real emotions over their choices. The murder plot was well intertwined in the episodes. I loved to hate Thatcher Karsten but that’s why he is an incredible actor. Henry Thomas was great also; he’s all grown up now and his acting was believable and sincere. Please bring it back it is better than most other drama shows on TV
