Theyve also turned on Mickey (Jon Voight) and are ready to lock him up.

After all, its what he deserves, at least according to Ray.

As for Bridget (Kerris Dorsey), things are looking grim.

Its been a season filled with pain and self-exploration for Ray and thats just how he ends it.

Its a little more; write emotion and truth and comedy and complexity as we can.

Its really that simple.

Abby is dead, but she was a constant presence throughout the season.

Going forward is Ray going to change by having someone talk to him so directly?Absolutely.

We need to talk about Jon Voight and his character, Mickey, who is now back in jail.

Ray has a lot to grapple within what hes done.

These are part of the questions we start to play with next year.

Lets talk about Sam, whos become quite a presence in Rays life.

Ray is having an incredibly hard time letting go of Abby and his part in that story.

Will we see a completely different Ray Donovan in New York City?

Its a whole different vibe from L.A., new territory.Its a whole different world.

Its going to be a much different story and a much different show and intentionally.

We cant, were not going to transplant Los Angeles Ray Donovan into New York.

Were really excited and its also daunting.

It does affect his business.

Last year changed the nature of his business.

I think those are useful skills to have in a city like New York.

Otherwise, well address them wherever they fall, wherever they fall.

Sometimes I think Ive got the whole year planned out, other times I think I have nothing.

Production on season 6 of the Showtime hit,Ray Donovan, is set to begin in early 2018.
