The Affair | 'The Story Begins' Trailer | Season 1

Starring Dominic West, Ruth Wilson, Maura Tierney, and Joshua Jackson.

The Affair is the Golden Globe®2015 Winner for Best TV Series, Drama & Ruth Wilson is the Golden Globe®2015 Winner for Best Actress in a TV Series, Drama. Dominic West is a Golden Globe® 2015 nominee for Best Actor in a TV series, Drama.

At once deeply observed and intriguingly elusive, THE AFFAIR explores the emotional effects of an extramarital relationship. Noah is a New York City schoolteacher and novelist who is happily married, but resents his dependence on his wealthy father-in-law. Alison is a young waitress trying to piece her life and marriage back together in the wake of a tragedy. Set in Montauk at the end of Long Island, the provocative drama unfolds separately from both the male and female perspectives, using the distinct memory biases of both to tell the story. 2015 Golden Globe® Winner for Best TV Series, Drama.

[nicolezito]

This show is amazing! I watched all 5 seasons and I am not usually a show person. Highly recommend, they did a great job

[lorrdel]

Am I the only who got too distracted with the background song to listen to the trailer at all? Like, I kept trying to remember where I knew the tune from and then realized It was an Elvis cover and proceeded to scream internally because ELVIS!!!!

[ranzinstigator]

I guess he really was intrigued by his own acting that he decided he wanted to try it out in real life!! An affair

[prettyneev]

One of my favorite shows. Very realistic & relatable. So much to dissect here. 10/10 for sure.

[marlenejohnsen]

Why isn't this show more known? its amazing!!!!

[mgarrison]

I was cast as Dominic West's body double for this promo.

[melisarose]

I think this is on of the best series ever written, it shows real life and that bad people can do good things and good people can do bad things.

[ImmaWorkinProgress]

Can't believe it's been 10 years! I may rewatch this again. We're all unreliable narrators of our own lives.

[janciekemp]

Shoot me now, just found this series, and my god Love Love Love ❤️

[heathercole]

He sure took the ‘Affair’ part seriously it seems.

[SleepyHollow]

The stakes on the show are considerably higher than one would think from watching this trailer (it's amazing how often trailers undersell shows).

[yomiwilliams]

This should have been called “ The Affairs”

[cynicsiddha]

Ruth's accent is so american that we can't find her Britain's roots....

[brigittehajjar]

The best of the best show ever ever seen . Genius

[PurveyorOfCuriosities]

Cheating on Maura Tierney? This premise was fundamentally flawed... she's absolutely perfect.

[sumithrababu]

Just completed 5 seasons.. that was awesome 👌👌

[yomiwilliams]

Running 🏃‍♂️ with the car ?? 😂
That was hilarious 😆

[her_with_the_pink_hair]

Just finished this show . ..Oh how I wept in the last episode .. i absolutely loved this ❤️ 💖. The actor who plays Noah so reminds me of my dad in looks. This made me feel so emo watching it as my dad died.

The beginning of this series was out of this world amazing. Pure perfection. Later seasons turned into a sh!tshow. Did the same people write the beginning and the end?
