Joining Rogers and Gill are Adina Porter, Brian White and Lili Simmons. Porter will play Vicky Delgatti, who has the same fixer job as the titular protagonist. Meanwhile, White will portray Jay, a rapper-actor-producer who is on the top of his game in the entertainment industry. Simmons will play Natalie James, who is a famous and attractive actress.
All three newcomers will be appearing in several episodes, with Porter and White signed on for at least four episodes and Simmons for a season-long arc.
The fifth season of "Ray Donovan" is expected to continue following Liev Schreiber's eponymous role as he navigates his new life with his family. His work has brought him to Tinseltown, where he is expected to cross paths with many of the new characters on the show. As showrunner David Hollander has explained, a lot of characters have gone through changes, which means there are many facets of their lives to explore.
The Showtime series begins production for season 5 this year. It remains to be seen if this will be the last season for the show, but Hollander has already assured fans that the series will not end by killing off Ray since it would be too easy.
"Ray Donovan" season 5 does not have a premiere date yet.
