In the entertainment world, a huge hype started to build around Ray Donovan season 8. If you do not know, let me inform you that Ray Donovan is one of the most popular shows in recent times. The first season of the show aired on the 30th of June 2013. Since that time, the show has enticed its audience with its engaging storyline and plot for seven consecutive seasons, with the seventh season ending on the 19th of January 2020.
The show has also received numerous award nominations, bagging three of them. The show has become so popular across the globe that Netflix announced that there will be a remake of the show in India by the name of Rana Naidu. In all, the show received positive reviews on various global review platforms. As a result of its towering popularity, the expectation of an eighth season was high. Therefore, if you wish to know more about the eighth season of the show, then this article is the perfect stop for you.
Is Season 8 A Reality Or A Myth?
Though there are numerous rumours up in the market, the fate of the show is clear. To come to the answer directly, there is no possibility of the show’s renewal for the eighth season. On the 4th of February 2020, Showtime cancelled the show after the airing of the seventh and thereby the final season.
In fact, this sudden termination of the show left David Hollander, the showrunner and the audience stunned. As audiences, we expect a proper closure to the show. However, the termination came with no closure. In fact, Hollander admitted in an interview that they are also confused about the abrupt cancellation of the show. In fact, he had a creative plan ready for the eighth season, which he planned as the final season. As per their plan, they planned for a dual-story to run consecutively in the eighth season. However, that is only a dream now.
But That’s Not The End
If you are a fan of the show, and like many others have been saddened by its unexpected termination, then do not lose heart. There is something which will take away much of your sadness and frustration. Well, if I tell you that there is a full-length feature film about the show waiting for you, would you be stunned again? I hope, the answer is in the affirmative.
Ray Donovan: The Movie will take it upon itself to finish the story from where the show left it. However, this was not an easy job. It was the discontent of the audience, which gave the network a much-needed reality check. Therefore, they have decided to compensate for the loss by bringing the show into a two-hour-long format. The movie arrived to the public on January 14, 2022, and received mixed and mostly positive reactions. It also bagged a few award nominations, though winning none of them.
