Showtime releases trailer for final season of The Affair

July 3, 2019 by Amie Cranswick

Showtime has released a poster and trailer for the fifth and final season of its Golden Globe-winning drama The Affair which gives us our first look at Anna Paquin as the now-adult Joanie Lockhart, daughter of Alison (Ruth Wilson) and Cole (Joshua Jackson); take a look below…

Season five will chronicle the aftermath of last season’s horrific events and find the characters coming to terms with the consequences of their choices – as they make the realization that if they really want to change their futures, they must first face the past. Helen (Maura Tierney) begins the season involved in an intoxicating new affair with a charismatic movie star (guest star Claes Bang), who offers to give her everything she’s been missing. Noah (Dominic West) meanwhile has to swallow his pride and his jealousy and step in to take care of his family in her absence. But just when things seem to have stabilized, a chance encounter with someone from the distant past sets in a motion a sequence of events that brings them both to their knees. Anna Paquin stars as Alison and Cole’s now adult daughter Joanie Lockhart, who returns some years in the future to piece together the truth about what happened to her mother, bringing the whole story full circle.

The Affair season 5 premieres on August 25th on Showtime.
