The last season of Ray Donovan ended with quite a bang while showcasing the problems Ray (Liev Schrieber) has with wife Abby (Paula Malcomson) and daughter Bridget (Kerris Dorsey). Showtime has now released the new poster art for season four, which premieres Sunday, June 26 at 9:00 pm ET/PT on-air, on demand, and over the internet. That same night, immediately following Ray Donovan’s season premiere, Showtime will air the new one-hour ensemble comedy series Roadies from creator, writer, director, and executive producer Cameron Crowe.

Ray Donovan stars Liev Schreiber as L.A.’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. Last season’s intense battle with the Armenian mafia leads a wounded Ray to reconnect with his forsaken faith. With this second chance at redemption, Ray is on a path to becoming a much better husband and father. But while things at home are improving, his work introduces him to worlds more formidable and dangerous than ever before.

Meanwhile, Mickey (Jon Voight, in his Emmy-nominated and Golden Globe-winning role) has fled Los Angeles, hoping to plant roots on his own terms and begin anew, one scam at a time. The series also stars Paula Malcomson, Eddie Marsan, Dash Mihok, Steven Bauer, Katherine Moennig, Pooch Hall, Kerris Dorsey, and Devon Bagby. Guest stars featured in season four include Emmy nominee Lisa Bonet, Embeth Davidtz, Ted Levine, Gabriel Mann, Ismael Cruz Cordova, Chris Coppola, and Billy Lush. A Showtime production, the series is executive produced by David Hollander, Mark Gordon, Bryan Zuriff, and Lou Fusaro, and created by Ann Biderman.

The new poster art, although mostly in shadow, shows Schreiber completely nude, looking towards the heavens, making me question the motive behind it. Given Donovan’s attempt to once again take Jesus Christ as his savior, does the poster simulate his re-birth as a new Christian man, absolving him of all his sins?  Will he be able to live this new life or will his former lifestyle draw him back in? Can Donovan really save himself as the key art suggests? Simply put, can a leopard change its spots?

Given what is shown in this season four teaser, I’m not so sure.
