Our favorite fixer is set for a return. It has been announced that Ray Donovan has been renewed for a seventh season by Showtime. The news comes ahead of the season 6 finale which will air January 13.
Season 6 has found Ray (Liev Schreiber) fueled by his subconscious need for help. After his life was saved by a Staten Island cop named Mac (Domenick Lombardozzi), Ray must navigate the complicated debts and emotions that grew out of that relationship while also trying to save the mayoral campaign of Anita Novak (Lola Glaudini), the favored candidate of Sam Winslow (Susan Sarandon). On the family front, Mickey (Jon Voight) is on a mission to hunt down Ray to seek revenge and Ray struggles to cope after Bridget (Kerris Dorsey) tells him that she must break away from her father and the havoc his life has brought.
Production on the seventh season is expected to start in the spring in New York City and should premiere later in 2019. Since premiering in 2013, Ray Donovan has become one of Showtime’s most-watched shows and currently ranks among cable’s top five scripted series. The most recent live-plus-three date has it coming in just shy of 2 million viewers and that’s before the gains it sees on multiplatform lifts from its two streaming platforms, on demand and encores.
