Okay, let's talk about something important. Something that keeps me up at night. (Okay, maybe not *that* dramatic.) It's about Ray Donovan. Specifically, when the heck is the next season starting?
I know, I know. The original series ended. We all cried. Or maybe that was just me. But then, BAM! A movie! And then, a sequel series, Ray Donovan: The Movie. So, naturally, the burning question remains...where's season two?!
The Ray Donovan Drought is Real
Seriously, is it just me, or is the wait excruciating? I've rewatched the entire original series like, five times. My neighbors probably think I *am* Ray Donovan at this point.
I scroll through streaming services. I search online. I even ask my dog (he just wags his tail). Still nothing. The suspense is killing me!
It feels like we're all in a Ray Donovan-shaped purgatory. Waiting. Hoping. Praying to the TV gods for some good news.
So, When *IS* it Coming Back? (The Million-Dollar Question)
Here's the honest truth. And prepare yourself. As of right now, there's been no official announcement about a new season. I know, I know. Deep breaths.
Don't lose hope yet! Shows get resurrected all the time. It's like they go away for a bit and then *poof* they’re back.
Maybe the folks at Showtime (or Paramount+, whatever!) are just keeping it a super-duper secret. Maybe they want to surprise us. It could happen!
My Wild Theories (Because Why Not?)
Since we're speculating, let's dive into some of my completely unsubstantiated theories. Consider this my Ray Donovan conspiracy corner.
Theory #1: Liev Schreiber is busy saving the world in real life. He's too busy being a badass to film a TV show. Makes sense, right?
Theory #2: They're waiting for the perfect dramatic moment. You know, like when we're all at our lowest, and then BAM! New season announcement. Masterful.
Theory #3:
Maybe, just maybe, they're crowdsourcing ideas for the plot. And they're secretly reading all our Reddit threads. So, everyone, start brainstorming!
An Unpopular Opinion (Prepare Yourselves)
Okay, here's where I might lose some of you. Brace yourselves. I might prefer a limited series over another full-blown season.
Hear me out! A tight, focused story with a definitive ending. No filler episodes. Pure, unadulterated Ray Donovan goodness.
Don’t get me wrong. I love the show. But sometimes, less is more. And a limited series could be a perfect way to revisit the characters without overstaying their welcome. Plus, they did Ray Donovan: The Movie.
The Bottom Line: We Need More Ray!
Look, whether it's a new season, a movie, a limited series, or even a Ray Donovan musical (okay, maybe not that last one), we need more Ray Donovan in our lives. It's a fact.
So, to Showtime/Paramount+, if you're listening: Please, for the love of all that is holy, give us something! Anything! Even just a trailer would suffice.
Until then, I'll be here. Rewatching the old episodes. And dreaming of the day Ray Donovan graces our screens again.
