Who’s joining the new season of The Affair? Deadline reports Russell Hornsby (pictured, left), Tim Matheson (pictured, right), and Dina Meyer will recur on season four of the Showtime TV show.

The drama follows the emotional effects of an extramarital relationship between two troubled married people — a New York City schoolteacher/novelist and a young waitress. The cast includes Dominic West, Maura Tierney, Ruth Wilson, Joshua Jackson, Julia Goldani Telles, Jake Siciliano, Jadon Sand, Abigail Dylan Harrison, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Omar Metwally, and Irène Jacob.

On The Affair, Hornsby will be playing “Carl Gatewood, Janelle’s (Sanaa Lathan) ex-husband and Noah’s (West) rival for her affection. Carl was a brilliant, promising student in his own day but his experience at an elite university demoralized him and turned him against the system his ex-wife thrived within.”

Meanwhile, Matheson and Meyer “will play a couple from Alison’s (Wilson) past, who have shocking information to share about who she is and where she comes from.”

The new season of The Affair is expected to premiere on Showtime in 2018.
