Though the ratings keep falling, Ray Donovan continues to be one of Showtime’s highest-rated scripted series. How long will the show continue? Could it last as long as Shameless, another of the channel’s top dramas? Will Ray Donovan be cancelled or renewed for season eight? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
A Showtime crime drama, 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.

What do you think? Do you like the Ray Donovan TV series on Showtime? Should it be cancelled or renewed for an eighth season?
*2/4/20 update: Showtime has cancelled Ray Donovan so there won’t be an eighth season.
Please give a nice ending to viewers as well as to the story. I really like the character of Ray. season 7 is all about he is getting fixed. canceling suddenly without a proper ending is not fare to the story continued until seven seasons. Pls Pls we need season 8 too with a nice recovery.
Ray Donovan just ran out of gas. It’s stuck on the side of the road some where. The crusher is coming for it. Deal with it
I cannot believe Showtime is cancelling one of the best series on TV. I will never watch Showtime again and am cancelling my subscription. That was not a series finale. Showtime sucks!
Ray Donovan is one of the best shows in years. Fast paced, edgy, exciting and a GREAT cast. What a loss if this show does not renew. Showtime what’s wrong with you???
Ray Donovan should not be cancelled. It holds interest every week especially with Jon Voight.
Please Have another season of RAY DONOVAN hi from Slovenia
Noooo!!!! You can’t just end it ! At least bring it back for a shortened season. Something , anything . One of our favorite shows, we will miss it
Been watching Ray from the very beginning. They can’t end the series the way season 7 ended. These companies need to give loyal fans the ending to tv shows they deserve and more importantly to the actors. They’ve put a lot of years of their lives into these characters and shows. I truly believe this is why new shows (on every station/streamer) haven’t done well in recent years. The viewers watch a show and get into it and even when it’s a highly watched show it gets cancelled. So viewers are waiting to see what gets picked up and then… Read more »
I love Ray Donovan, it’s the highlight of my Monday morning watching it on Hulu…when I got up this morning to watch S7E11 and found out only 10 episodes this season I was bummed. Now to find out that they’re in debate on whether or not to cancel the show…not happy at all. At least give some of us Dexter fans the respect of not ending it like Dexter did with a flop and anticipation of something better.
To those on Showtime please renew Ray Donavan. It is by far the best series left on cable tv now that Gane of Thrones has ended and Homeland is in its last season. Far more interesting then Shameless.
this is by far the best show on tv today.i have seen other shows that i liked taken away before their expiration date.but this is different.this show is superb in every way.as much as i love showtime,they will leave me no choice but if they force me to live without the donovan family for at least one more season,then i will live without them too.
PLEASE GIVE RAY DONOVAN VIEWERS THE COURTESY OF ENDING THE SHOW WITH THE DIGNITY IT AND ITS ACTORS DESERVE. IT CANT JUST BE LEFT ALL UP IN THE AIR.. THANK YOU
Please Have another season of RAY DONOVAN. SEASON 8
Please Renew Ray Dovonon,I love the show.
