Ruth Wilson: Showtime Hands Series Orders to 'The Affair’

SHOWTIME Hands Series Orders to Ruth Wilson's 'The Affair'


The drama get 10-episode pickups


Showtime is expected to unveil pickups of two new series, comedy “Happyish” and drama “The Affair,” during its Television Critics Assn. press tour sessions on Thursday. 

The Affair explores the emotional and psychological effects of an extramarital affair. The drama will be told separately from the male and female perspectives using the distinct memory biases to both misdirect and intrigue.

Ruth Wilson (Luther) plays Alison, a woman waiting tables at a popular Hamptons diner, trying to piece her life back together in the wake of a tragedy. Her husband, Cole (Fringe's Jackson), struggles to keep it all together, with his wife and with the financially strained ranch that has been in his family for generations. Their emotionally charged marriage becomes even more complicated when Alison begins an affair with Noah (Dominic West, The Wire), a New York public school teacher and aspiring novelist who is spending the summer at his in-laws' estate out on the island. ER's Maura Tierney plays Helen, Noah's wife of 17 years.

Award-winning playwright and writer-producer Sarah Treem (House of Cards) wrote the original script from a story co-created with Hagai Levi, whom she worked with on In Treatment. Treem and Levi will exec produce alongside Jeffrey Reiner (Friday Night Lights), who directed the pilot.

Showtime's another pilot -- Kyle Chandler drama The Vatican -- was passed over in December.

* Doesn't matter how talky the script is and tediously contemplative the show will eventually be as long as Ruth I'm-Not-Doing-Nudity Wilson shows her pretty boobies and butt. If she does get naked and I'm pretty sure she will, Ruth's patronizing put down of Alice Eve and nudity in an interview will come back to haunt her. British starlets are not into social media but watch out for Ruth opening a twitter account when she starts working on the series soon. My heart is pounding like crazy. She's one my (secret) dream f*cks. Gorgeous, supremely talented, kissable unique lips, eye-catching eye-brows, mesmerizing eyes and a voice I want to hear every night saying my name over and over as I bang her into becoming my baby mama. I almost caught Ruth performance on stage few years ago but missed out due to delayed flight. Given up on Ruth of ever getting naked. I thought she was English version of Rachel Nichols. More so after couple of interviews in which she derided the need for on-screen nudity. That's the reason I rarely upload anything on Ruth on the blog.
