This season Ray Donovan has his hands full with a new client played by Ian McShane (Deadwood). Moving away from family-centric storylines, Season 3 sees the Boston-bred bad boy employed by billionaire producer Andrew Finney (McShane), the wealthiest man in Los Angeles, to keep his family – particularly daughter Paige (Katie Holmes) – out of trouble.

Also guest starring this season are Sarah Shahi (The L Word) as an Armenian pop star in a one-off role, and Mad Men’s Aaron Staton as a high school teacher with a tragic past. The first season to run without creator Ann Biderman at the helm, Season 3 will be one to play close attention to as Ray tries to build a powerful empire on his own terms, while his ever-troublesome father, Mickey (Jon Voight) makes his own waves with the bad guys on the fringes of LA’s wealthy scene.
