Showtime Adds Original Series THE AFFAIR and HAPPYISH

Building on the network's existing slate of acclaimed and award-winning programming, Showtime will add two new original series to its lineup with orders for the one-hour drama THE AFFAIR and half-hour comedy series HAPPYISH. The announcement was made today by David Nevins, President of Entertainment, Showtime Networks Inc. THE AFFAIR, a one-hour drama series starring Golden Globe nominees Dominic West (THE WIRE) and Ruth Wilson (LUTHER), as well as Emmy nominee Maura Tierney (ER) and SAG Award nominee Joshua Jackson (FRINGE), received a ten-episode series order. HAPPYISH, a comedy starring Academy Award winner Philip Seymour Hoffman (Capote), Kathryn Hahn (Revolutionary Road) and Rhys Ifans (Notting Hill) also received a 10-episode order.

"THE AFFAIR is a beautiful pilot. It is an intense exploration of two marriages and the affair that disrupts them - with great acting and a very clever, deeply-observed script by the marvelously talented Sarah Treem," said Nevins. "Shalom Auslander and Phillip Seymour Hoffman make for a formidable and unusual comedy team. The chance to get one of the truly great actors of our time into a such an incisive and current comedy was totally and completely irresistible."

Dominic West to Headline THE AFFAIR on Showtime

SHOWTIME has cast Golden Globe nominee and Screen Actors Guild Award winner Dominic West (THE WIRE) as the male lead of its drama pilot THE AFFAIR. West will play Noah, a good husband, devoted father of four, and New York City high school teacher whose settled, comfortable world is about to implode when he meets a woman he thinks is his soul mate.

From award-winning playwright and writer/producer Sarah Treem (HOUSE OF CARDS) and co-creator Hagai Levi (IN TREATMENT), THE AFFAIR is an intense and intimate exploration of two marriages and an affair that disrupts them - with all of the complex consequences that result.
