Could it be that it’s not too late for Noah and Helen?

The first trailer for the final season of The Affaire is here and it looks like Noah (Dominic West) is going to take no for an answer.

Showtime has dropped the first look at the upcoming last season of its Golden Globe-winning drama. The clip features Noah (West) fighting for a second chance and Helen (Maura Tierney) not willing to give him one. For him “it’s not too late” and “forgiveness is hard,” but people simply “yearn for someone who really knows” them.

Per the premium cabler, 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 — as they make the realization that if they really want to change their futures, they must first face the past. 

Ruth Wilson, who played Alison, left the show off back in Season 4. Showtime said of that creative decision, “heading into season 4 everyone agreed the character’s story had run its course. Ultimately, it felt like the most powerful creative decision would be to end Alison’s arc at the moment when she had finally achieved self-empowerment. The impact of her loss will be felt as the series concludes next season. We thank the many fans who embraced the character of Alison and especially thank Ruth for her indelible work over the past four seasons.”

The Affair premieres August 25.
