There are so few female showrunners on TV these days, it’s significant news that Ann Biderman (Southland, NYPD Blue) has stepped down as showrunner on Showtime’s Ray Donovan, which she created and which is in post production on a second season.
The one-hour drama stars Liev Schreiber as Ray, a South Bostonian who moves to LA to work as a “fixer” for a law firm that handles wealthy clients. Paula Malcomson plays Ray’s wife Abby, Eddie Marsan plays his brother Terry and Jon Voight plays is father Mickey
The show was nominated for two Golden Globes last season, including Schreiber and Voight, and Voight received an Emmy nomination in 2014.
No word on why Biderman stepped down (her contract was up after 2 seasons) or who will replace her.
