Walter Presents is hooking up with The Adulterer again for a third date this summer.

The most popular series on the All 4 online channel in 2019, the drama tells the tale of Iris and Willem, who cross paths and cannot deny the intense chemistry between them – chemistry that will soon see their lives become more entangled than they could possibly imagine.

While married to a top prosecutor, with whom she has a young son, photographer Iris van Erkel-Hoegaarde meets Willem Steenhouwer at her exhibition launch. Immediately struck by overwhelming attraction for each other, the pair soon succumb to their feelings and embark on a passionate affair. Around the same time Willem, a respected defence lawyer, is called up to represent a man accused of murder. Unbeknownst to him, the case has also been assigned to prosecutor, and loving husband of Iris, Pepijn van Erkel.

Season 3 picks up the action two years after the end of Season 2, but can the course of true love even run smooth, when a relationship began with adultery? Willem and Iris’ bliss doesn’t last long when a mysterious woman called Anna appears on the scene bearing a large grudge against his old enemy. Despite Iris’ objections, Willem simply can’t leave the past behind him and agrees to join forces with Anna to go in search of justice.

Season 3 will premiere its first episode at 11.20pm on Channel 4, with all 10 episodes then available on All 4.

Season 1 was the most-viewed Walter Presents show of 2019. Now, just as the dust of betrayal, attempted murder and cover-ups from the first season has begun to settle, the series is back for a second run in the new year.

We join Iris and Willem as they still have to deal with the consequences of their affair. One day, Marit finds a note to say Willem is going away for a while to think things over. He wants to be left alone and no one must go looking for him at any cost. But Iris doesn’t believe a word of it. Did Willem leave of his own accord? Was he abducted? Or perhaps even murdered?

Find out when The Adulterers Season 2 premieres at 11.30pm on Channel 4 on 6th January 2020, with the full box set then available on Walter Presents via All 4.
