'We're making a terrible mistake': The Affair season two trailer sees Noah face the fallout from his romance with Alison... and charges for murder
In its first season, The Affair showed how drama could be heightened when more than one side to the story was considered.
That will go on in season two, when four different points of view will tell the tale of an affair between two married adults.
Those adults - played by Dominic West and Ruth Wilson - will continue their heart-breaking romance with ever-increasing conflict and sexiness.

Passion: A new trailer for the second season of The Affair has been released, and sees the titular romance between Alison and Noah (Ruth Wilson and Dominic West) continue
'What's the worst thing you've ever done?' asked a shadowed Alison Bailey (played by Ruth) to her lover, Noah Solloway (Dominic).
'This, probably,' Noah admitted, making it clear that his guilt over betraying wife Helen (Maura Tierney) has not yet dissipated.
Alison appeared to be feeling even more regret about giving up her marriage to be with Noah, and told him: 'I think we're making a terrible mistake.'
Helen's anger - along with that of Alison's husband, Cole Lockhart (Joshua Jackson) - will feature even more strongly in the second season.
Betrayal: Both Alison and Noah left their spouses to be together in the first season
Sexy darkness: While together in the trailer, guilt has not left Alison or Noah
Points of view: Spouses Cole (Joshua Jackson, left) and Helen (Maura Tierney, right) will have their points of view highlighted in the new season
We catch a glimpse of Noah telling his young son about their impending divorce, while Cole tracks down Alison only to find out that she doesn't want to see him.
The betrayed spouses' points of view will share screen time with those of Alison and Noah when the show returns, proving the tag line: 'There are more than two sides to every story.'
Whatever guilt remains, Noah and Alison did not waste their time with moaning in the trailer's footage.
Instead, both of them took advantage of a swimming pool and spending time in bed.
Complicated truth: Telling the story from two points of view added complexity to the story
Ruin: Much of the previous stability and happiness in Noah's and Alison's lives is in pieces
Personal problems: Helen and Cole have not gotten over their respective exes
Even their sex scenes, however, were tinged with the darker emotions that make up the story of The Affair.
Noah and the rest also have to deal with the fall-out from the murder of Cole's brother, Scott (Colin Donnell) - a crime for which Noah became the prime suspect.
But Noah insists: 'I didn't kill Scott Lockhart.'
One scene in the video showed him in court, while a voiceover insisted that they needed to learn the truth about who ran down and killed Scotty.
Crime: The murder of Scott Lockhart (Colin Donnell, above) will figure in the second season
Prime suspect: Noah will remain the lead suspect in Scotty's murder, causing a search for the actual killer
Hit show: When it aired in fall 2014, The Affair became Showtime's highest-rated Live+3 show

A new season is expected to premiere before the end of 2015, although Showtime has not yet set a date.
