Ray Donovan is not the kind of guy you fire. More than a few of his friends have woken up to a dead body next to them, and even more than that count themselves lucky to wake up at all. Showtime knows this, as Ray Donovan season 7 has got the go-ahead, according to Deadline.
The series, which stars Emmy and Golden Globe Award nominee Liev Schreiber as Ray Donovan, is wrapping up season 6, which saw the setting change from Los Angeles to New York state. Season 7 will remain in New York.
Donovan moved to New York after his life was saved by a Staten Island cop named Mac, played by Domenick Lombardozzi. The former Boston mobster stayed for the pizza, and got friendly with media mogul Sam Winslow (Susan Sarandon), who wants Anita Novak (Lola Glaudini) to be the next mayor. Ray is a “fixer.” He does the dirty work for top power players.
Ray’s father Mickey (Jon Voight) is hunting for Ray on a mission of revenge. Ray’s daughter Bridget (Kerris Dorsey) told her father to put some distance between himself and his father because of the chaos he brings to most situations. It makes sense. Mickey was safer in jail, even after he ratted out everyone who put him there.
Ray Donovan also stars Eddie Marsan, Dash Mihok, Katherine Moennig, Pooch Hall, Devon Bagby and Graham Rogers. The show is executive produced by David Hollander, Mark Gordon, Bryan Zuriff and Lou Fusaro. The series was created by Ann Biderman.
The Ray Donovan season 6 finale airs on Showtime on Jan. 13th.
