Shameless, Ray Donovan, Kidding Get Fall Premiere Dates at Showtime

Have you been wondering when your favorite Showtime series are returning to the air?

We have some news!

Showtime revealed Friday at the Television Critics' Association summer press tour that Shameless Season 10 will premiere Sunday, November 3 at 9/8c, Kidding Season 2 will launch the same night, airing two episodes a week at 10/9c.

Ray Donovan will join in the fun two weeks later with its seventh season landing a November 17 premiere date.

More surprising, the dark drama series will be airing at the earlier time of 8/7c.

Yes, really. But Showtime is a premium cabler, so it can effectively schedule shows however it pleases.

As for what's about to go down on these series, Shameless Season 10 will pick up following Fiona's exit and will be the first season without Emmy Rossum.

Filling the void are returning series regulars Cameron Monaghan, and Noel Fisher.

The new episodes pick up six months later as “Frank uses his leg injury to collect as many prescription drugs as possible and his exploits lead him to an old friend,” according to the Showtime synopsis.

“Debbie, emboldened by the $50,000 left to her by Fiona, has stepped in as the new matriarch, ruling over the Gallagher household with an iron fist."

"Lip navigates his relationship with a newly affectionate Tami.”

Meanwhile, Ian and Mickey “rekindle their romance in prison as both cellmates and lovers.”

“Carl has to decide what to do with his life as he finishes military school and heads back to the South side,” while Liam “is committed to learning more about black history and culture under the tutelage of V as Kev faces an identity crisis.”

Sounds like an interesting turn of events. Many thought Ian and Mickey would be getting out of jail, but it sounds more like there will be a major storyline set in the prison.

As for Ray Donovan, it picks up with Ray “working to be the man his family needs him to be," per the logline.

"This season picks up moments after season one’s cliffhanger, and with his beloved Mr. Pickles’ Puppet Time off the air for the first time in 30 years, Jeff Pickles must find a way to communicate with his many fans who still need him," reads the logline.

"Jeff creates a new and controversial method to talk directly to children across the world only to become the target of animosity for the first time in his career."

"As Jeff navigates the most complicated moral gray areas of his life, he discovers a new side of himself in a season full of music, magic, puppets and pathos."
