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?
The only reason I have showtime is Ray Donovan.
I can’t believe Showtime would cancel Ray Donovan and keep a show like Shameless.
The people running Showtime must have their heads up their glasses.
Ray Donovan season 8 or there’s no reason for me to keep watching Showtime.
Well I’m over Fifty and don’t text people what I for dinner or talk what happened to me today BORING CONVERSATION. REMOVING QUALITY PROGRAMS LIKE DONOVAN IS A BAD MOVE ALL I CAN DO IS CANCEL SHOWTIME. GOODBYE
Season eight please!
Why can’t Ray Donovan be taken over by Hulu, Apple Sundance prime. This is one of the finest shows to come to television. Master class in acting, directing, writing, riveting. Huge fan base
I don’t have Hulu so showtime needs to keep Ray Donovan. Please keep Ray Donovan
We definitely need season Eight. There is more to tell. Ray Donovan is my favorite show.
Please continue season Eight.
Please have a Season 8 to tie up loose ends. Season 7 was great, answered a lot of questions from the past, but ended with many cliffhangers. It’s not fair to the loyal fans to end the series this way.
Please keep Ray Donovan on! One of the best shows in such a long time. It’s priceless! The cast is amazing. Donovan’s have a lot more to share. Rethink your decision Showtime! I think you will loose a lot of viewers….
Please don’t cancel Ray Donovan – I love this show! An amazing cast and such a wonderful exciting show – I can’t believe this ! If this show goes what the hell is the point in keeping showtime. They are cancelling all the good shows!! Please don’t it must return to tie up loose ends !
I think I was just kicked in the throat! I have no words!
What an exciting and extraordinary show with one of the best casts ever! Please give the loyal fans a miracle & bring RAY BACK‼️
You pulled Shameless & Homeland but now Ray….
Ray Donovan needs season 8 to tie up loose ends so to speak and end the series with all questions answered. Cancelling the show while there is still a story to finish doesn’t make sense.
you’ve got to be kidding me ! such a great show being cancelled by someone who doesn’t know what he’s doing. Excuse the forwardness but what **** show is replacing Ray. I now have no excuse but to end my subscription with showtime. B-B-B- CYA SHOWTIME!
Yes ,do a final season eight.
ABSOLUTELY. We need…we demand a el so season. Showtime will lose my support if they pull this stunt. Too good a show not to do a wrap up season. Stand up and be heard @raydonovan
Yes, a season 8 finale would tie up all the loose ends. Great show with great acting and characters with one of the coolest script writing on TV. The locations are the best, showing the contrast from glamour to grit.
