Showtime’s longest-running dramaBillionsis returning for an all-new seventh season, and it’s not too far away. But the bigger news is thatDamian Lewis’s Bobby Axelrod is coming back from his hibernationin Switzerland. Although his longtime rival, Mike Prince, played byCorey Stoll, filled in the antagonist’s shoes quite convincingly while he was gone, it no doubt will be a delight to see the return of the fan-favorite hedge-fund king reclaiming his throne. That also meansPaul Giamatti’s Chuck Rhoades now has double the adversaries to deal with. Even before the show’s sixth season premiered,Billionswas renewed in February 2022, for a seventh andfinal season, coming this August.
Created byBrian Koppelman,David Levien, andAndrew Ross Sorkin,Billionspremiered in January 2016 and has run for six seasons to date on Showtime, making it the network’s longest-running drama series. The first couple of seasons were inspired by real-life financial crimes connected to the United States AttorneyPreet Bharara’s prosecution of hedge fund manager Steven A. Cohen of S.A.C. Capital Advisors and Salomon Brothers' 1991 manipulation of U.S. Treasury bonds. The premise follows hedge-fund manager and popular philanthropist Bobby Axelrod who employs aggressive tactics to accumulate wealth and power. This attracts the constant attention of US Attorney Chuck Rhoades, who believes that no one should be wielding that kind of excessive wealth, power, or even entitlement. The story then unfolds in an evil game of power, politics, and high finance. As the series progresses, these two men find themselves entangled in their own webs.
A show packed with high-stakes power struggles among the rich and famous of society, sharp dialogues, and hard-hitting performances of the cast,Billionshas garnered a huge following over the last six seasons, including nominations for several awards, with critical acclaim for featuring the first ever non-binary character on American television.
