In a recent interview Liev Schrieber, who plays the titular role on Ray Donovan, spoke about working on the show and dished a bit about  what fans can expect from season 3.

Speaking to Variety, the actor answered questions about his experience playing Ray and what his hopes for his character were.

When asked about the fate of his and Abby's (Paula Malcolmson) marriage, Schreiber seemed rather optimistic, not in the way that things would be hunky dory, but at least that the couple would stick out through thick and thin. The questions seems pertinent as Ray and Abby's marriage was really tested in the second season, and both were having affairs on the side.

Season 3 To Get A New Writer, Will Be Very Different?  

"Ray is the kind of person who would die for his family," Schreiber said. "I don't know that his marriage can ever truly be over. As bad as it gets, as bad as he behaves, he'll never be able to separate himself from it. Whether or not they're living under the same roof, he'll always be married to Abby."

Schreiber also spoke about his expectations from the role and how things panned out. 

"When I read the character, I thought it was an interesting take on contemporary masculinity," he said. "When you have that many good actors and that many good writers, it takes on a life of its own. After the first scene I knew I was in trouble - collectively we had something compelling, and I was going to have to figure out how to live in L.A."

The season 2 finale of Ray Donovan aired on Sunday, September 27 at 8 pm ET/PT on Showtime.

Season 3 should be out sometime mid-2015.
