"The Affair" is down yet another cast member ahead of its fifth and final season. Catalina Sandino Moreno, who plays Cole’s wife Luisa, is not returning to the Showtime drama as a series regular, Deadline reports.

The cabler has yet to officially confirm the news.




Moreno marks the third series regular to depart "The Affair", following original cast members Ruth Wilson and Joshua Jackson. Like Jackson, Moreno could return as a guest star, pending availability.

She will next appear opposite Sophia Bush in the forthcoming CBS spy drama "Surveillance", which received a production commitment back in September.

Luisa is Back at The Lobster Roll in New Photos

A blast from Cole Lockhart’s past will return to "The Affair" in an upcoming episode.

New photos from the Showtime drama’s fifth and final season reveal that former series regular Catalina Sandino Moreno will reprise Luisa in Episode 7 (airing Sunday, Oct. 6, at 9/8c). Noah and Whitney encounter Cole’s (estranged?) wife at The Lobster Roll during a day out wedding-dress shopping.



In the Season 4 finale, Luisa and Cole mutually agreed that their relationship was over, but Cole offered to remain married on paper so Luisa could apply to become a U.S. citizen and Joanie’s legal guardian.

In the Sept. 15 episode, it was revealed in the Joanie-centric, future-set timeline that Cole dies in the year 2053 (read recap). It is currently unknown if Luisa remained a part of Joanie’s life following the events of Season 4.



Upon her exit, she was cast opposite Sophia Bush in the CBS drama pilot "Surveillance", which is not moving forward at the network.
