NEW YORK - June 24, 2013 - SHOWTIME and Zipcar, Inc., the world's leading car sharing network, are collaborating to offer Zipcar members the chance to attend a complimentary advance drive-in screening. Zipsters will have the opportunity to view the eighth and final season premiere of the network's critically-acclaimed hit series DEXTER and the series premiere of the network's anticipated new drama RAY DONOVAN. Both series premiere on SHOWTIME on Sunday, June 30th.
Zipcar members in Boston, Washington, D.C., New York, and San Francisco will have the chance to attend special drive-in screenings of DEXTER and RAY DONOVAN in their Zipcars on Wednesday, June 26th at 8 p.m. The screenings will take place at top secret locations to be revealed the week of the event. Over one hundred Zipcar drivers and their passengers will be treated to free concessions and fun on-screen trivia prior to watching the episodes at the sold out screenings.
"This exclusive drive-in screening is a fun way to bring Zipsters together and is another great perk of being a Zipcar member," said Zipcar Chief Marketing Officer Brian Harrington. "The screenings in all four cities sold out within the first 72 hours and we are expecting a great crowd. We're excited to be able to give our members the opportunity to check out these great SHOWTIME programs before they air."
DEXTER stars Michael C. Hall in his Golden Globe(R) Award-winning role as Dexter Morgan, a complicated and conflicted blood-spatter expert for the Miami Metro police department. The series also stars Desmond Harrington, C.S. Lee, Aimee Garcia, David Zayas, Geoff Pierson and James Remar. Produced by SHOWTIME, DEXTER is executive produced by John Goldwyn, Sara Colleton, Scott Buck, Manny Coto, Tim Schlattmann, Wendy West, Jace Richdale and Michael C. Hall.
Set in the sprawling mecca of the rich and famous, RAY DONOVAN stars Emmy(R) and Golden Globe Award nominee Liev Schreiber in his first lead television role as LA's best professional fixer. Ray is the man called in to make the city's celebrities,' superstar athletes,' and business moguls' most complicated and combustible situations go away. This powerful drama unfolds when his father, Mickey Donovan, played by Oscar(R) winner Jon Voight, is unexpectedly released from prison, setting off a chain of events that shakes the Donovan family to its core. RAY DONOVAN is created and executive-produced by Ann Biderman (Southland), who also wrote the pilot episode. The series is also executive produced by Mark Gordon and Bryan Zuriff. RAY DONOVAN is a SHOWTIME production and the pilot was directed by Allen Coulter (The Sopranos, Sons of Anarchy), who also serves as producer on both the pilot and the second episode of the series.
