Two new pilots for Showtime are filming in NYC this month.
The first, Trending Down, is an ad-exec comedy starring Philip Seymour Hoffman. The series, if picked up, will focus on Thom Payne, who is adrift when his ad agency is taken over. Showtime describes the show as a “blistering attack on our youth-obsessed culture and a darkly comic examination of what it means to matter. Or matter not.”
The second pilot sstars Joshua Jackson as a Long Island rancher whose wife Allison (Ruth Wilson) is having an affair with Noah, a high school teacher played by Dominic West. Maura Tierney also stars in the aptly titled pilot, The Affair, as Noah’s wife.
Showtime has said “this provocative, one-hour relationship drama will be told separately from the male and female perspective.”
Today, The Affair is filming in Brooklyn.
