Ray Donovan just wrapped its seventh season, but will there be an eighth? Recently, star Liev Schreiber and Showtime chief Gary Levine discussed the future of the TV show, Deadline reports.
The drama series stars Schreiber as the titular Ray Donovan, a professional fixer who’s working to be the man his family needs him to be. The cast also includes Alan Alda, Zach Grenier, Jon Voight, Dash Mihok, Eddie Marsan, Pooch Hall, Kerris Dorsey, and Graham Rogers.
During this year’s winter TCA press conference, Showtime boss Gary Levine suggested Ray Donovan is “nearing the end of its run”:
I think Ray Donovan is nearing the end of its run. We always talked about seven or eight seasons. Nothing has been decided yet but it’s fair to say it is nearing the end.”
Meanwhile, Liev Schreiber is hoping for an eighth season. On his Instagram, the star urged fans to reach out to Showtime to renew the series:
What do you think? Do you watch Ray Donovan? Do you want an eighth season?
Yes to season 8 and more thereafter. The writers need to put their thinking caps on as they are the ones running out of ideas and creativity so they want to end it. Giving up. Excuses. The last season was kick ass. Love all in the show.
Season 7 was fabulous. Need season 8 to tie up some loose ends. Will miss it.
Great show. Need one more season 8!
This is my favorite show I watch the whole thing in three months and I’m watching it again
I love this show watched it twice
Please bring back Ray it is a fantastic show and we need a least one more season to have a good ending.
I definitely want another season of Ray Donovan. All my friends watch it and look forward to it!
You always cancel the best programs
Definitely want another see. One of the best shows ever on cable. Next to The Sopranos and Dexter. So well written and acted. I’m so into the family. I love them all. And JON Voight at his finest!!! I keep wanting more!
My family & friends love this show. Please return for an 8th season! Love all of the characters. We talk of how amazing it is that we don’t even get to have closure! What’s with that?
Ray Donovan took the place Dexter had. Both shows are great. If they
stop making Ray Donovan, with Homeland ending, I will cancel Showtime and use that money on Hulu.
Have watched Donovan since the beginning and have been hooked from the very start. A spectacular cast and storyline keeps you glued and intrigued with every episode. Episodes seem to be over much too soon, you hope another one is going to be on right after the one you watched. Matches the Sopranos without a doubt. Please don’t disappoint us and not renew, that would be a injustice to us all. Hopinging to see everyone in season 8 and possibly more. Can’t wait. Sincerely…..Walter
I truly hope it goes on for another season. It is a great story and always surprises. Liev Schrieber, you’re amazing!
Keep it going!! This has not gone stale at all!!
“Shameless” got tired during the last season with Fiona, but it got worse this season, not because Fiona left. The show lost it’s “edge”
And I don’t even bother to watch anymore.
Ray Donovan just keeps building up steam!!
Please keep the show going!! I have been watching for the entire run.. don’t kill it off!!!
What an incredible action/drama!!! Liev really holds things together!! All the cast is a perfect fit!!! I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE A SEASON EIGHT!!! PLEASE CONSIDER A FINAL SEASON EIGHT AND TAKE YOUR TIME AND TIE ALL THE LOOSE ENDS TOGETHER NICELY…DON’T JUST DUMP IT ABRUPTLY…
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION!!
