A Teacher

A married high school English instructor has an affair with her teen student

The sordid topic has fueled all too too close to one of her underage pupils. In this case, it’s fictional Texas high school English instructor Claire Wilson and 17-year-old Eric Walker (’ Kate Mara and ’s Nick Robinson, above). While Mara describes the story as “very intense and juicy and unique,” the 10-episode limited series promises to be more thoughtful than any salacious Lifetime movie tackling the same subject. “The biggest draw for me was that it was not just from the woman’s point of view, but also from the male victim’s,” she explains. “He’s not just a so-called fling that you can write off as such.”
