The Affair is finally drawing to a close.

The Affair Season 5 will chronicle the aftermath of last season’s horrific events and find the characters coming to terms with the consequences of their choices.

They'll 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.

The Affair Season 5 Premiere Date Revealed - Who's Not Returning?

That's right, as we imagined all along, it appears Noah deeply regrets leaving Helen and their life behind.

He scratched an itch with Alison that tore apart his family and set him on a new trajectory.

Showtime has released the first full trailer for the final season of “The Affair,” teasing the addition of Anna Paquin as a daughter seeking answers about her mother’s death.

Paquin joined the series for the fifth and final season next month, as Alison (former series regular Ruth Wilson) and Cole’s (Dominic West) now adult daughter Joanie Lockhart, who returns to find the truth about her mother’s apparent suicide — which was revealed last season to have been a murder.

“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,” Showtime says in a statement.

Ok, you can admit it now -- you loved "Downton Abbey" just like the rest of us. The show captured almost everyone's attention for as long as it was on the air and introduced TV devotees to the glory that is British period television. Once viewers found out that the updated versions of these (mostly) historical events were packed with salacious details, torrid affairs, sassy grandmas, and so much more, they were in for the duration.

Now that you're obsessed with British period shows, whether they're loosely based on true events, like "The Tudors," or are works of fiction set in historical times, similar to "Outlander" (sometimes referred to as a British-American show hybrid), get to know the handful of usual suspects that we can't help but notice make their mark in nigh every show.

Powers is the latest comic adaptation – based on the Marvel/Icon comic by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming – from the team who produced The Walking Dead which turns the concept of superheroes on their head and asks: what if the world was full of superheroes who aren’t heroic at all?

For those that haven’t heard of the show before (why not?) Powers follows the lives of two homicide detectives, Christian Walker played by Sharlto Copley (District 9, Maleficent) and Deena Pilgrim played by Susan Heyward (666 Park Avenue, 30 Rock). Powers was actually the PlayStation Network’s first scripted original programming, premiering on March 10th 2015; however now the UK arm of Spike have announced it is to join their roster of shows which also includes From Dusk Till Dawn, Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead.

Sony’s superhero drama Powers may not have lit up the PlayStation Network in a way the company would have hoped – perhaps stifled by the success of Marvel’s Daredevil – but that doesn’t mean the Japanese giant isn’t prepared to have another crack of the whip. In fact, The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Sony will bring the series back in 2016 for season 2.

Following the ten-episode stint, the company will be looking to assemble the creative team back for another turn in the Powers Department, and here’s what Sony’s top brass had to say on the renewal.

“The reception to ‘Powers’ has been incredible and we are thrilled to have successfully launched a platform for original content with the PlayStation gamer in mind,” said John Koller, vp platforms marketing at Sony Computer Entertainment America. “We believe original content will continue to be a key pillar as...

While it's not quite a superhero project in the traditional sense —though it is based on a comic series— "Powers" certainly has a mutant spirit, one not unlike X-Men. The series coming to PlayStation (yep, yet another streaming platform) has just dropped its first trailer, and while the execution is debatable, the premise is intriguing. Starring Sharlto Copley, Michelle Forbes, Eddie Izzard, Noah Taylor, Susan Heyward, Olesya Rulin, Max Fowler and Adam Godley, the show follows a formerly super-powered guy who now investigates similarly super-powered crimes as a detective. And it's a role that Copley seems to be enjoying, and it's a fun approach to the genre. But again, we're not sure how we like this first look. Check out the trailer below. No word yet on when it will drop on PlayStation. [Comic Book]...

During the annual New York Comic-Con, Sony took the opportunity to unveil the first trailer for its PlayStation-exclusive television show, Powers.

Based on Michael Avon Oeming and Brian Michael Bendis’ eponymous comic book, the series is due to premiere this December and follows Christian Walker (Sharlto Copley) and Deena Pilgrim (Susan Heyward), a pair of homicidal detectives who specialize in the abnormal.

Specifically, the two appear to be keeping close tabs on the titular Powers — a group of humans with supernatural abilities — within the Windy City itself, Chicago. From the above footage, it appears as though Copley’s character has an innate connection with the misunderstood antagonists, claiming that they somehow managed to steal his own mystical powers.

Joining Copley and Heyward for the procedural are Eddie Izzard, Noah Taylor, Olesya Rulin, Max Fowler, and Adam Godley. It’s understood that the pilot episode will be overseen by David Slade...

Today we have the trailer for the upcoming "Powers" TV series, which stars Sharlto Copley (District 9) and is based on comic books by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming.

Copley and Susan Heyward play detectives Christian Walker and Deena Pilgrim. The rest of the cast includes Michelle Forbes, Max Fowler, Adam Godley, Noah Taylor, Olesya Rulin and Eddie Izzard.

The first trailer for Playstation's new TV series Powers is set to premiere this weekend at New York Comic Con, and I imagine it will be released online around the same time. While we wait for the trailer, a poster has been released for the superpower crime drama, and it gives us a dark and gritty vibe.

Sharlto Copley and Susan Heyward star in the series as Christian Walker and Deena Pilgrim, two cops that specialize in cases involving people with superhuman abilities. Powers is based on a comic book written by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming, and the poster pays tribute to that source material. Here's a description of the series.

In a nutshell, “Powers” is an edgy dramatic series that follows the lives of two homicide detectives, Christian Walker and Deena Pilgrim, who are assigned to investigate cases involving people with superhuman abilities, referred to as Powers.

District 9 and A-Team star Sharlto Copley has been cast in the lead role for a new PlayStation Network drama series called Powers. The series is being based on Brian Michael Bendis and artist Michael Avon Oeming’s comic book series.

The news comes from Variety who reports that Copley will play Christian Walker, described as "a dapper and charismatic character with a darkness and violence right at the surface but with a sense of buried integrity." The description goes on to say that "Walker has the dissolute air of a faded rock star and the body of a battered heavyweight. Once possessed of super-powers, Walker lost those abilities in a battle with a super-human mass killer. A faded hero, he’s now a detective who works with law enforcement, using his singular expertise to investigate crimes in the Powers community."

Also cast in the series is Michelle Forbes, who will play Retro Girl,...

Variety reports that Copley (pictured) will play Christian Walker, described as a dapper and charismatic character with a darkness and violence right at the surface but with a sense of buried integrity. Walker has the dissolute air of a faded rock star and the body of a battered heavyweight.

Once possessed of super-powers, Walker lost those abilities in a battle with a super-human mass killer. A faded hero, he’s now a detective who works with law enforcement, using his singular expertise to investigate crimes in the Powers community.

The final pieces of the puzzle are falling into place for Powers, the first original series from Sony’s PlayStation Network.

Deadline reports that David Slade will direct the first two episodes of the live-action series from scripts by Charlie Huston. Susan Heyward (pictured; "The Following") has been tapped as the female lead with Max Fowler ("The Killing") and Adam Godley ("Breaking Bad") also cast.

Combining the genres of superhero fantasy, crime noir, and police procedural, "Powers," produced by Sony Pictures TV, is set in a world full of people with superhuman abilities and where all of those powers are just another catalyst for mayhem and murder.

We've known that Brian Michael Bendis' Powers was coming to the PlayStation Network for a while, and now we finally have our first casting announcement. According to Deadline, Susan Heyward (The Following) will play Deena Pilgrim; who's described as "equal parts beauty and sarcasm, a wunderkind detective with edgy style". In the comics she partners up with Christian Walker -- who used to be a Power himself -- but no word on who'll be playing him yet. We do have a couple of supporting roles though: Adam Godley (Breaking Bad) will play Captain Cross, head of the Powers division of the police department, and Max Fowler (The Killing) will play the son of Walker’s deceased partner, who was murdered by a power. Bendis, Oeming and Michael Dinner will executive produce the show, with Huston and Remi Aubuchon (Falling Skies).

Susan Heyward ("The Following") has scored the female lead role in the upcoming TV series adaptation of Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming's acclaimed graphic novel series "Powers".

The story is set in a world full of people with superhuman abilities (aka. Powers) and follows the lives of two homicide detectives, Christian Walker and Deena Pilgrim (Heyward), who are assigned to investigate cases involving people with superhuman abilities.

Also onboard are Max Fowler ("The Killing") and Adam Godley ("Breaking Bad"). Fowler plays the disaffected teen Krispin Stockley, the son of Walker’s previous partner who was murdered by a rogue Power. Godley is Captain Cross, head of the Powers division who may have his own agenda.

News

The casting for Powers, a combination of crime thriller and superhero fantasy based on the comic book series by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming, is gradually coming together.

While the actor playing male lead Det. Christian Walker is yet to be announced, The Following and Poltergeist remake actress Susan Heyward (below) has been nabbed to play his colleague Det. Deena Pilgrim, a role previously taken by Lucy Punch in the now-defunct FX adaptation.

Walker and Pilgrim are homicide detectives in a world that superpowers have made a very dangerous place. The live-action adaptation will be Sony PlayStation TV's debut series. 

The first two episode of Powers are to be directed by Hard Candy and Hannibal's David Slade, with scripts by writer and novelist, Charlie Huston. Max Fowler and Adam Godley also star.

Previously titled Tokarev, and released under that name in some international territories, Nicolas Cage’s latest action-crime-thriller, Rage, will be released via VOD next month, ahead of a theatrical release stateside in July.

With just over a month before it lands digitally, Yahoo Movies has debuted the first Us trailer and poster. Cage is of course very well-versed in a genre like this, and remains amongst the most prolific within it.

When the Russian mob kidnaps the daughter of a reformed criminal, he rounds up his old crew and seeks his own brand of justice.

Starring alongside Cage will be Rachel Nichols, Max Ryan, Michael McGrady, Peter Stormare, Pasha D. Lychnikoff, Patrice Cols, Weston Cage, Max Fowler, Aubrey Peeples, and Jack Falahee, with Danny Glover also making an appearance.

Last week’s episode of The Killing was undoubtedly a disappointing one. I emphasized that it would have been a complete disaster had it not featured Peter Sarsgaard’s electric performance as Ray Seward. This week’s episode was far better in comparison, and it once again made good use of lead characters Holder and Linden, which I applaud. Some weak points include Twitch and Lyric’s several inconsequential scenes, and Max Fowler’s wooden acting — no, it’s not getting any better.

I mentioned before that I wasn’t a huge fan of some of the new characters introduced in the third season. I’m fine with Skinner and Bullet, though, as the former’s intriguing connection to Linden needs to be further explored in future episodes, while the latter has been slowly bonding with Holder. Bullet’s devotion to finding Kallie is enviable — she’s unquestionably more determined...

After a promising start, the third season of The Killing has started to meander a little bit. The last couple of episodes were fast-paced, intriguing and revealing. This one was just plain dull and felt like complete filler. Remember the infamous first season episode Missing, where Linden spent hours looking for her son? Yeah, sure, it was great for character development, but it came at a point where we just wanted to know who killed Rosie Larsen, not find out about Linden’s personal problems.

This episode is not nearly as ill-timed, but it does feel as if Holder and Linden are going around in circles. Holder talks to the tomboyish Bullet, goes back to the office, and then talks to Bullet again, spies on some child porn distributor, then Bullet, office, kiddie porn, Bullet, and the cycle goes on and on, while Linden’s more invested in solving a...

Hannibal Classics has set Danny Glover, Peter Stomare, Aubrey Peebles, Patrice Cols and Max Fowler to join Nicolas Cage in the action thriller Tokarev.

To find her, he must leave his respectable life behind, round up his old crew and seek his own brand of justice. Funding comes from Union Patriot Capital Management LLC. Image Entertainment has acquired North American rights and the Hannibal Classics sales division is selling it around the world. “We couldn’t be happier with our cast, a combination of audience favorites and fresh young talent, said Riionda Del Castro.

I’ve been coming to grips with The Killing’s resurrection over the last few months, though the process has been slow and arduous .It’s just not a show I look back on with fond memories, which makes looking forward to the new season, even with all the intriguing story ideas I’ve heard, seem an impossibility. It turns out, however, all I really needed was to see something that would solidify my faith in a better future. It isn’t much, but it’s enough to at least shed some of my fears, the big one being Season 3 won’t have changed at all. But just looking at the new poster tells me there will be big changes coming. Whether they are good or bad remains to be seen, but at least the series didn’t stubbornly remain the same.

Just about everyone was a prime suspect in the BBC's inventive five-part whodunnit Mayday

Mayday (BBC1) | iPlayer

Broadchurch (ITV1) | ITVPlayer

Parks and Recreation (BBC4) | iPlayer

Lovers of TV crime drama rarely have to wait long for a child killing set in a small, inbred community of ordinary people with secrets up their sleeves, so I suppose we shouldn't be surprised when two come at once. We were the more generously served by Mayday, which the BBC ran over five successive nights, partly in deference to binge-watching trends, but also, perhaps, because they felt they had something to flaunt. And maybe they did. It was engaging in a British (ie non-Scandinavian) way, pulling us into the darker currents of the story by way of some light humour over an obese dog. Why was he so fat? More exercise, suggested the vet. Lesley Manville was wonderful as the dog's owner, Gail, half-indignant,...

BBC One's Mayday has been intriguing an audience of over 4 million viewers all week with its dark murder mystery.

'Who killed 14-year-old May Queen Hattie?' is the big question, hidden beneath tales of seedy peeping Toms, twisted relationships, moody teens and a broken community. But have you figured out the culprit yet?

Peter Firth's Malcolm was the obvious suspect after an intense feud with Hattie, but after killing himself midway through the series, he looks likely to be a red herring.

Could it be Seth (Tom Fisher) or Steve (Sam Spruell), the brothers who both have connections with the late girl?

Or maybe you think the sinister-looking Everett, played to creepy lip-curling perfection by Aiden Gillen, went too far with one of his sexual dalliances?
