Paula Malcomson from shows like Deadwood and Caprica will be the female lead in Ray Donovan.
Deadline reports that the actress will join Liev Schreiber in the Showtime drama. The show was created by Southland creator Ann Biderman and will be directed by Allen Coulter. Mark Gordon and Bryan Zuriff are attached to executive produce.
The show is described as a "dark family drama with comedic undertones." Schreiber's character is a professional fixer and takes care of the Hollywood elites' problems. While he is good at taking care of other people's problems, he can't really solve his own difficulties at home. Malcomson will play his wife Abby who is a Boston girl having trouble moving to Hollywood.
