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?
Ray Donavan and Homeland are the only reasons I get Showtime. The show needs an eighth season…or more
Rock on Ray Ray. Has made my day,,,,,,
Of all series this is the one for me!!!
I also canceled Showtime. I thought they were going to make a Season 8 of Ray Donovan and at least make an ending. I heard they will, then I hear no, it’s canceled. Very confusing. So many people waiting to hear… Anybody know what’s going on?
I’ve enjoyed every episode of Ray Donovan and was very disappointed to hear it might be cancelled before a final 8th season. I happily join the chorus of voices strongly urging that the series be continued. While I’d vote for 10 seasons, I’ll be satisfied with an 8th season clearly described as the final season, with an appropriate final episode. Great writing, and great acting by Liev Schreiber and all the cast!
This show has gripped me since the very first episode and hasn’t let go! My bff first told me about it around season 3 which I binge watched that weekend. I told another friend at the end of season 5 and spent the next week re-watching all 5 seasons again! I could watch this show for another 10 seasons and still want more! However, we want you back in Los Angeles!
looks like the national outrage has paid off.ray will be back either as a movie or a final season.BUT HE WILL BE BACK.YES YES YES
Please bring Ray Donovan back for season eight. This is my favorite show of all time. I look forward to watching this show on Sunday nights or any night as far as that goes. Please please please don’t endRay Donovan

I can’t BELIEVE that Ray Donovan is being cancelled! It’s one of the top shows on tv! I’ve been watching since Season one and am extremely upset to hear about this! NO!!!!!!
