The twelve-part first season will launch on Sky Atlantic in July.

Set in “the sprawling mecca of the rich and famous”, Ray Donovan sees Schreiber in the title role as LA’s best professional fixer.

Lucy Criddle, Senior Acquisitions Manager at Sky, commented: “I’m thrilled to add Ray Donovan to Sky Atlantic’s impressive slate of US programming. This is just the kind of quality series that defines the channel’s brand and fits in perfectly alongside the award-winning shows we pride ourselves on bringing exclusively to our customers.”

Ray is the man called in to make the city’s celebrities’, superstar athletes’, and business moguls’ most complicated and combustible situations go away. This powerful drama unfolds when his father, Mickey Donovan (Voight), is unexpectedly released from prison, setting off a chain of events that shakes the Donovan family to its core.

Ray works with two associates – the imposing Avi (Steven Bauer) and laconic, hardboiled Lena (Katherine Moenning). Most of Ray’s work is for Goodman/Drexler, the most powerful law firm in town led by his confidante and mentor Ezra Goodman (Gould), and his partner, Lee Drexler (Peter Jacobson).

The only problems he can’t fix are those involving his own damaged South Boston family. Ray’s brother Bunchy (Dash Mihok) was abused by a priest and now can’t stay sober; his brother Terry (Eddie Marsan) was left in the boxing ring too long and developed Parkinson’s; while they are haunted by the memory of their little sister, who committed suicide when she was a teenager. Additionally, his wife Abby (Paula Malcomson) is still adjusting to their west coast, suburban life while raising their two children, Bridget (Kerris Dorsey) and Conor (Devon Bagby).
