Liev Schreiber's show will not be returning for a planned eighth season, with network bosses at Showtime confirming the series has "concluded its run". That is what has happened in the case of "Ray Donovan", since Showtime has made a decision to get rid of the series after the broadcast of seven seasons. "We are proud that the series ended in the middle of such a strong audience and with such a powerful note".
At TCA last month, 's Co-President of Entertainment Gary Levine admitted that the fixer drama was "nearing the end of its run".
Ray Donovan's shock cancellation means that the seventh season finale should now take place as the showtime drama collection finale is played out.
Heralded as "the finest American theater actor of his generation" by the New York Times, Liev Schreiber has won five Golden Globe Award nominations and three Primetimes Emmy nominations for his starring title role in Ray Donovan.
No specific reason was given as to why the show has officially come to an end, but news of Ray Donovan's cancelation was confirmed in a statement provided by Showtime. "Nothing has been decided yet, but it is fair to say that the end is approaching". I'll be cancelling my @Showtime subscription as soon as the final season of Homeland finishes airing.
Ray Donovan was produced by The Mark Gordon Company, Ann Bidderman Company, Bider Sweet Productions, David Hollander Productions and Showtime Networks. "While he makes progress with Dr. Amiot (five-time Emmy and Golden Globe victor Alan Alda), there are dangers from the past that require the Ray Donovan of old". Between NYC Mayor Ed Feratti (Zach Grenier), an unrelenting NYPD officer hunting for the truth and clients old and new, Ray struggled to find the balance between fixing for clients and fixing himself.
Schreiber commented on a potential eighth season shortly after Season 7 concluded, saying on Instagram that it was "in the networks hands". The community introduced its choice as we speak in an official assertion, which implies that the cliffhanger episode which ended Season 7 should function the sequence finale.
