After her big win last night, Maura Tierney let out a little tease about The Affair Season 3.

What's Next For Helen On 'The Affair?'

The actress won her first Golden Globe Award on Sunday night for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Series. And speaking to Variety backstage of the award ceremony, she mentioned that things will be different when the series returns for a third season.

"The show is going to change next season- the structure of the show is going to change in an exciting way," Tierney said. She added that a "narrative structure" would be involved and it will be "exciting."

'The Affair' Gets Renewed For A Third Year

The actress then gave her thanks to the writers who gave her something she was willing to let thicken her skin.

"They presented me with really challenging things to do and I really wanted to be up to the challenge," she said. "I think my work excited the writers and the writers' work excited me."

Tierney previously opened up with Variety on how her character Helen is doing what she can to deal with a heartbreaking situation, but hopefully she'll find her strength along the way.

"I think of her as a woman struggling to handle a very difficult situation," the Golden Globe winner said about Helen. I think she doesn't know how to gracefully handle all of this bad stuff. I don't think she's consciously trying to be graceful, but I want her to achieve that because I think that shows a lot of integrity if you can handle tough times with a certain amount of equanimity. So I see her as someone trying to get there."

The Affair Season 3 is expected to premiere this fall on Showtime.
