Masters of Sex, Ray Donovan Renewed for Season 4

Season three of both Ray Donovan and Masters of Sex are both currently airing on Showtime and today the network’s president, David Nevins, announced they’ll both be back for fourth seasons. Season four of both shows will be made up of 12 new episodes, with filming expected to take place in 2016.

“Both Ray Donovan and Masters of Sex are signature series for Showtime,” stated Nevins, announcing the renewals. “They are emblematic of what Showtime stands for – quality, premium programming that you cannot find anywhere else on television. We’re so proud to continue offering both series across all our platforms.”

Ray Donovan is airing on Sunday nights at 9pm ET/PT followed by Masters of Sex at 10pm ET/PT. The cast of Ray Donovan is led by Liev Schreiber and includes Jon Voight, Ian McShane, Katie Holmes, Paula Malcomson, Eddie Marsan, Dash Mihok, and Steven Bauer. Masters of Sex stars Lizzy Caplan and Michael Sheen and co-stars Caitlin FitzGerald and Annaleigh Ashford.

Ray Donovan – The Plot:

Ray Donovan stars Golden Globe and Emmy nominee Liev Schreiber as LA’s best professional fixer, the man called in to make the city’s celebrities, superstar athletes, and business moguls’ most complicated and combustible situations go away. Season three finds Ray adrift from his family and those closest to him, while he focuses on his business and desires to be his own boss. Meanwhile, his father Mickey (Jon Voight), who had narrowly escaped last season’s heist debacle, finds himself charting a similar course to build his own empire.

The Masters of Sex Plot:

Season three of Masters of Sexis set in 1966 when the famed duo Masters and Johnson are dealing with the glare of the national spotlight as their sex study is finally unveiled. Masters and Johnson’s work is having a profound impact on contemporary relationships, especially their own evolving three-way “marriage” with Masters’ wife Libby (Caitlin FitzGerald). Starring Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Michael Sheen and Emmy nominee Lizzy Caplan as real-life pioneers of human sexuality, William Masters and Virginia Johnson, Masters of Sex chronicles their unusual lives, romance and pop-culture trajectory. Masters and Johnson’s research touched off the sexual revolution and took them from a mid-western teaching hospital in St. Louis to the cover of Time magazine.
