'Homeland' & 'The Affair' Renewed by Showtime!

Great news for fans of the Showtime series Homeland and The Affair – the network has picked up both shows for additional seasons!

The Affair, starring Dominic West, Ruth Wilson, and Joshua Jackson, will be getting a 10-episode second season while Claire Danes‘ hit drama Homeland will be getting a 12-episode fifth season, which will air in 2015.

The Affair is averaging 3.9 million weekly viewers across all platforms while Homeland has been averaging 6 million for the new season and it has been growing each of the last three weeks.

“In its fourth season, Homeland has brilliantly reinvented itself. It continues to capture the attention of a devoted fan base, and has provided an enviable platform for the successful launch of The Affair,” Showtime president David Nevins said in a statement. “With thought-provoking, relevant and addictive storylines, both series have been embraced, dissected and much debated week after week. We’re excited to see more from these complex shows in 2015.”
