What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the Showtime cable channel, Ray Donovan stars Liev Schreiber, Alan Alda, Zach Grenier, Jon Voight, Dash Mihok, Eddie Marsan, Pooch Hall, Kerris Dorsey, and Graham Rogers. The series centers on professional fixer Ray Donovan (Schreiber), who’s working to be the man his family needs him to be. While he makes progress with Dr. Amiot (Alda), there are dangers from the past that require the Ray Donovan of old. Between NYC mayor Ed Feratti (Grenier), an unrelenting NYPD officer hunting for the truth and clients old and new, Ray struggles to find the balance between fixing for clients and fixing himself. And when Feratti’s corruption brings a piece of Mickey’s past (Voight) back to New York, Ray is forced to seek answers to long-buried questions.

Telly’s Take
Will Showtime cancel or renew Ray Donovan for season eight? Since it continues to be one of the channel’s most popular series, my sense is that the show will continue as long as Schreiber and the producers want to keep making it.

What do you think? Were you hoping that the Ray Donovan TV show would be renewed for an eighth season? Are you sorry that Showtime cancelled this TV series, instead?
Why would you cancel ray Donovan there was so many cliff hangers left now I’m cancelling showtime if there’s no season 8 I would think this over
i have read all of the comments on every site i can find about ray donovan and am happy to report that as of today 748 said they are getting rid of showtime.keep it up people,that is what they deserve.SEVEN SEASONS this show had.everyone involved in the show and the loyal fans deserved better .keep showing them the door,you never know
Season 7 was so good. We’re definitely cancelling showtime now that they dropped Ray. Really crappy ending for a show with such incredibly devolved characters.
I am so discussed and disappointed that Donavan was cancelled. This was a great show been watching sense day one. There’s no reason for me to keep show time now this was the show I Wanted all week to watch
This is totally unfair. Showcase promised an 8th season. Why are all the great shows on the chopping block and stupid dribble is left to run on and on. Time to boycott Showcase. SO long Showcase, you have shown your true colours and I am done with ‘ya!
No Ray no showtime
YES!! Best show on TV!!!
If showtime cancels ray donovan I cancel showtime
I spend my entire week counting the days until Ray returns. This is the 3rd time I have watched this series because I love it so much.
Please don’t cancel this amazing series. You can’t possibly let the series end with worthless Mickey alive. With all the terrible things he has done to everyone throughout his life at some point karma has got to catch up to him before the series finale.
Bring on season 8 please!!!
The only Reason I have Showtime is to see the Ray Donovan Show with All the Amazing Actors!!!
If it’s cancelled, I’ll cancel my Showtime Subscription.

Please renew Ray Donovan for season 8 _•- I got my son & daughter in law hooked on it-they binged first 5 seasons & we would be very disappointed if it doesn’t return – we live I different states but on Monday nights we FaceTime to talk about the show!!!!
