SEASON OVERVIEW
RAY DONOVAN stars two-time Golden Globe® and Emmy® nominee Liev Schreiber as L.A.’s best professional fixer, the man called in to make the city’s celebrities, superstar athletes, and business moguls’ most complicated and combustible situations go away. Season three finds Ray adrift from his business associates over the murder of Kate McPherson (Vanessa Shaw), and from his family after Abby’s (Paula Malcomson) affair. An opportunity for change arises when Ray meets billionaire media mogul Andrew Finney (Ian McShane), who needs Ray’s help managing his dysfunctional children: his black sheep son Casey (Guy Burnet) and his cut-throat daughter Paige (Katie Holmes). The siblings jockey for control over the family affairs, and as Ray becomes a driving force in the Finney empire, he discovers the price of ascension into the world of billionaires. Meanwhile, his father Mickey (Jon Voight, in his Emmy-nominated and Golden Globe-winning role), narrowly escaped last season’s heist debacle with Darryl (Pooch Hall), stumbles into a business opportunity in the hopes of building his own empire, Mickey-style. Terry (Eddie Marsan) struggles to find purpose as he serves time for the pot store heist, his worsening Parkinson’s symptoms impacting his mind. With Terry away, Bunchy (Dash Mihok) has taken over as manager at the Fite Club and finds himself drawn to a tough new member who won’t pay her dues. Abby (Malcomson) tries to support her family, but when she feels everyone pushing her away, she tries to reconnect with her old life in Southie. Bridget (Kerris Dorsey) struggles with a strict teacher at her new private school, as Conor (Devon Bagby) blunders his way into adolescent sexuality.
