Sanaa Lathan Joins 'The Affair' Season 4 In Recurring Role

Sanaa Lathan Joins ‘The Affair’

Sanaa Lathan is booked like a library!

The actress, who recently shaved her head for her starring role in Nappily Ever After, has just landed a recurring role on season 4 of Showtime’s hit series, “The Affair.”

According to Deadline, she will be starring opposite of the show’s star, Dominic West.

Via Deadline:

Season 4 finds Noah (West), Helen (Maura Tierney), Alison (Ruth Wilson) and Cole (Joshua Jackson) in their own orbits, alienated from one another, spinning farther and farther away from where they all began. Every character is involved in a new relationship, forcing each to decide if they’re ready and willing to leave the past behind for good.

Lathan will play Jenelle, the tough-as-nails principal of the charter school where Noah teaches, who intrigues him. She’s got a lot to prove to her school’s oppositional administration and faculty, who seem to fight her at every turn.

I already love “The Affair” and Sanaa Lathan is only giving me a reason to be early for the new season.

Congrats!
