Ray Donovan boss credits Showtime's movie revival to "petitions and letters and really angry posts"

Vulture

"I mean, journalists who didn’t even really like the show were expressing outrage. And Liev (Schreiber) and I both knew it was necessary to complete the story as well and were fueled by the fans and were loudly disagreeing with the network’s choice.“
