Showtime orders new drama 'The Affair'

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 8 (UPI) —

U.S. cable network Showtime says it has ordered a new drama called "The Affair" from "In Treatment" collaborators Sarah Treem and Hagai Levi.

The one-hour series is described as "an intimate exploration of two marriages and an affair that disrupts them — with all of the complexities and consequences that result."

The stories will be told separately from the male and female perspectives, the network said Friday.

No casting or start date has been announced.
