'Ray Donovan' News: Liev Schreiber Locked By Showtime, Unbilled For Work With HBO? [VIDEO]
Liev Schreiber's contract with Showtime for Ray Donovan comes at cost, as it surfaced that the actor was unbilled for working on projects with other networks like HBO.
Actress Lisa Kudrow's recent interview with AdWeek about her work with both Showtime and HBO revealed that Schreiber, who plays the titular character in the Showtime series, had to work with restrictions on a project for HBO. The fact emerged when Kudrow was asked how she was able to have two of her show's air with both networks, because Schreiber's contract with Showtime didn't allow him to be billed for his work in HBO's Clear History.
The first promo announcing that Ray Donovan will be returning for a third season was released by Showtime in October.
The clip runs for about 20-seconds and features Ray, Mickey (Jon Voight) and Abby (Paula Malcomson). "You don't know who you are anymore, Ray," a male voice-over rolls in the backdrop, as a few instances from season 2 compose the teaser.
While no date for the next season has been revealed yet, Bustle predicts that the series will be back in July 2015. This is inferred from the fact that the last two seasons also premiered around the same time of year. The cast and crew are expected to be back in Calbasas in early 2015 to begin filming for the third season.
The season 2 finale of Ray Donovan aired on Sunday, September 27 at 8 pm ET/PT on Showtime.
