Ahead of this Sunday’s Season 5 finale, Showtime has ordered a 12-episode sixth season of its hit drama series Ray Donovan.
A change of location also is in the works with Hollywood’s favorite celebrity fixer moving to the Big Apple. Season 6 will move from Los Angeles, where it has been based for the past five seasons, to New York City when production begins in early 2018.
Gary Levine, President of Programming, Showtime Networks had this to say about the renewal and the move:
”Ray Donovan broke new ground this season with its deeply emotional and innovative approach to Abby’s passing, without sacrificing any of the intensity that has been its trademark. We so appreciate that David Hollander is never satisfied with the status quo, and his creative plan for moving the show to New York reflects his relentless ambition for this series.”
The renewal and moves follows an emotional Season 5 with Ray in turmoil and needing to rebuild his life. The show is one of Showtime’s top dramas averaging nearly 5 million weekly viewers across platforms.=
