Showtime has renewed “Masters of Sex” and “Ray Donovan” for third seasons, the premium cabler announced Wednesday. Both hourlong series will receive 12-episode orders that will begin production in early 2015.
“Both ‘Ray Donovan’ and ‘Masters of Sex’ are quintessentially Showtime: bold, provocative, premium television with production values at the top of the food chain,” said David Nevins, president, Showtime Networks. “These acclaimed shows are filled with complex and interesting characters and settings that will no doubt give audiences compelling television to invest in for seasons to come.”
“Masters of Sex” has garnered five Emmy Award nominations this year, with Allison Janney already taking home the trophy for guest actress in a drama at the Creative Arts Emmys ceremony. “Ray Donovan’s” Jon Voight is also nominated for an Emmy for his role as Mickey Donovan. “Masters of Sex” currently averages nearly 4 million viewers across multiple platforms per week, while “Ray Donovan” averages 5 million weekly viewers.
