Plot Synopsis

As Hollywood's best professional fixer, Ray Donovan is called in to solve the complicated, confidential and controversial problems of the city's elite.

Along with Lena, his trusted second-in-command, and Ezra, his mentor and confidante, Ray solves the biggest problems for the City of Angels' movers and shakers, such as: Sean Stevens, a major movie star with a mysterious connection to Ray's past; Ashley Rucker, a young star under Ray's protection; and Lee, an L.A. power broker and frequent client.

Consisting of 12 episodes, the sixth season relocates from Los Angeles, where it has been based for the past five seasons, to New York City when production began in early 2018, following an intensely emotional Season 5 that found Ray in turmoil and needing to rebuild his life anew. "For our show, creatively, New York is exciting. Fashion, media, finance, theatre, culture. It's going to present new challenges for Ray Donovan which mean new opportunities for us as dramatists," said showrunner David Hollander. "Ray came to Los Angeles to build a life for himself and his family. They're not there anymore. Ray's career has changed and he is looking for a place to rebuild his life. Ray thinks he went to New York to help his daughter. He's going to find out he's there to help himself."
