What’s next for The Affair? Recently, co-creator Sarah Treem appeared on Variety’s podcast “Remote Controlled” and discussed her plans for the Showtime TV series.
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.
In the interview, Treem said she thinks season four would be a good time to end the show, which is currently in the middle of its third season:
I see a fourth season that will bring all the characters back together in a way that would feel really satisfying and surprising and end a journey.”
Last year, Treem said she only had three seasons of the Showtime drama planned but was open to a fourth. As of now, the network has not renewed the show for a fourth season.
What do you think? Do you watch The Affair? Do you think season four would be a good time to end? Or do you want more seasons?
I would like the affair to continue for a few more seasons. It is a really good study in relationships, and also in how choices affect more than just yourself. What anyone does has a ripple effect. Be careful how you behave…you can certainly get more, or less than you bargained for… do not take advantage of anyone, you never know where they may be on their journey!!! I love the human drama of each one of the characters. Would love to know more about each main characters background…Noah, Allison, Helen, Cole, and the Doctor, it might explain their choices,… Read more »
I found the characters, especially Alison, shallow, pouty, weepy, and not interesting. I also felt the show was mostly about wanton sex, and no depth. There are no “relationships” going on. I would be surprised if it did get renewed.
Keep it going !!!!!!
PLEASE RENEW THE SHOW FOR A SEASON 4……THE SHOW IS GREAT….
We really enjoy The Affair. The presentation is great – showing the same event
through male and female perspectives. Sometimes it require some thought, and
that’s a nice break from the ordinary “drama” we see on television. It definitely is not a mindless sitcom. Glad it was renewed.
The Affair has gone on too long. It only gets more contrived in order to drag it out . Enough already!! Just tell us who caused the accident and end it
