Production
In 2020, Showtime abruptly announced that season 7 of Ray Donovan would be the end of the series. Fans of the show petitioned for a follow-up to be written after the final season left many questions unanswered.[4] On February 12, 2020, Liev Schreiber wrote on his Instagram, "It seems your voices have been heard. Too soon to say how or when, but with a little luck and your continued support, there will be more Ray Donovan."[5][6] Following the announcement of a television film followup, in 2021, Showtime's President of Entertainment Gary Levine stated that the audience would be satisfied with the ending of the film, admitting "we did hear from fans, and we are nothing if not responsive to our audience. I think this Ray Donovan two-hour movie will go a long way to making that landing more graceful."[7]
Principal photography began in May 2021 and was wrapped in a few months, with the film shot in New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts.[8][9][10][11]
Reception
Kerris Dorsey received an honorable mention for TVLine's Performer of the Week ending on January 15, 2022.[12]
Critical response
The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported an approval rating of 87% based on 15 reviews, with an average rating of 6.7/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "If Ray Donovan: The Movie doesn't accomplish everything that a proper final season could have achieved, it nevertheless satisfies with a prologue and epilogue to the fixer's family woes."[13]
