The Affair was set to make its ITV debut last week but the schedule suffered a last-minute shake-up.
ITV has rescheduled the “best drama ever” with fans soon able to immerse themselves in the iconic series The Affair.
On Friday, March 13, ITV viewers eagerly anticipated the 2014 drama featuring Ruth Wilson, Dominic West, and Dawson’s Creek star Joshua Jackson making its terrestrial television premiere.
Yet audiences were baffled when the schedule was abruptly altered, with The Affair replaced by an instalment of game show Beat The Chasers in the 9pm time slot.
Whilst the rationale behind the eleventh-hour alteration remains uncertain, ITV has subsequently confirmed to Reach Plc that audiences won’t face a lengthy wait for the drama’s broadcast.
The Affair will launch on ITV this Friday, March 20, at 9pm, with plans to transmit the acclaimed series weekly every Friday evening.

There’s an alternative viewing option available, as the first three seasons have recently become accessible on ITV’s streaming platform ITVX.
Consequently, eager audiences needn’t wait through weekly Friday instalments to discover subsequent events, though series four and five remain unreleased.
The Affair centres on married educator and writer Noah Solloway’s (played by Dominic West) forbidden affair with waitress Alison Lockhart (Ruth Wilson) whilst she grapples with her own devastating loss.
Episodes are usually divided into two segments, presenting the same events from differing viewpoints, which helps establish The Affair as a distinctive programme for many viewers.
Describing it as the “best TV show ever”, one fan wrote on IMDb: “They don’t make TV shows like this. This is drama at its best.
“Superb writing and cast of actors, so much talent in this one show.”
Another viewer concurred: “Love this series, the way the episodes play out showing both sides of the story from two different perspectives is brilliant. The acting is superb!”
“What a brilliant show, gripping from start to finish. Watched all seasons and it certainly wasn’t predictable at all,” commented a third.
Meanwhile, another fan enthused: “I think this is my favorite show of all time!”
“Please keep going, the stories are great, exciting, realistic, fun, mind blowing and so much more!”
The Affair premieres on Friday, March 20, at 9pm on ITV.
